早稲田大学で開催された第37回日本ロボット学会学術講演会(RSJ2019)にて、EHDポンプとDEAモータに関するデモを行いました。EHDポンプは無音で駆動する高圧力操作が可能なポンプであり、一般的な電池での駆動が可能なため、人が容易に持ち運べるポンプとして次世代のアシストロボットへの応用が期待されています。今回の講演会は今年8月に論文誌Natureに掲載されたポンプデバイスの初めての一般公開となりました。DEAモータは小さい電力で無音回転するモータであり、本講演会はソフトロボットへの応用、実用性についてアピールする場となりました。
多くの方々から、我々の研究技術の需要や改良点に関して、大変貴重なご意見を頂きました。
研究の技術が実用的になり、社会貢献につながるよう、これからも研究に励んでいきます。
We had a chance to demonstrate our EHD pump and DEA motor at the 37th conference of The Robotics Society of Japan (RSJ 2019) held at Waseda University during 3rd – 7th September. EHD pump can work silently and be manipulated with high pressure. The pump powered by commonly used batteries is expected to be applied to the next-generation assisting robots which can be lightweight enough to carry easily. The conference became the first place where we displayed the pump device that appeared in the British scientific journal, Nature in August. DEA motor is a motor rotating silently with small power supply. We also appealed its application to soft robots and the practicability there.
Not a few participants gave us valuable feedback on the demand and improvement of our research technology.
We would like to continuously pursue our research in order to make our researching technology more practical and contribute to our society.
