We aim to create a novel prototype linear actuator with new structure applying an ER (Electro-Rheological) gel, a recent functional material. The actuator will be an all-purpose actuator satisfying characteristics for human-coexistence application. Such actuators for the application need large generative force, high speed response, good controllability, high safety, low friction, backdriveability...
Nowadays, certain kinds of robots have been developed to be used in proximity to daily human activities. Backdriveability is important for robots to act according to users' movements. We want to develop a linear actuator of high power and backdriveability. In this study we aim to achieve high generative force and backdriveability with a novel linear actuator, because there are many straight line operations...
