| Abstract |
Recently, many studies on bio-mimic soft robots have been reported. Among living organisms, locomotion of soft bodies, such as snails, worms, and nematodes, have been actively studied. These soft crea...tures locomote by deforming the muscles of the whole body into waveforms and propagating the waves of the deformation. These locomotion of soft creatures could be applicable to develop a worm-type soft robot which can move in drain pipes and even if in a human body. In this study, we developed worm-like robots which could generate wavy motion under a rotating magnetic field using silicone and magnetic rubber, and investigated its movement characteristics. In addition, based on deformation experiment of a silicone cantilever with a single magnetic element inside made of the same material of worm-like robot, we investigated the effect of the size of the worm robot for further miniaturization.show more
