Problems solved by technology

[0008] However, in the control device equipped with the delay circuit, since a delay with respect to the target operation often occurs, the responsiveness is poor, and it is impossible to perform tasks requiring real-time performance.
In addition, the effect is exerted only in the case of a combination of a servo motor and a fluid pressure driver, and cannot be achieved in a robot arm composed only of a fluid pressure driver

[0294] Picture 11 It is a figure which shows the structure of the control apparatus of the elastic body actuator concerning Embodiment 3 of this invention. Picture 11 Among them, 202 is a temperature compensation device. The robot arm 10 is provided with a temperature sensor (not shown) as an example of the internal state measuring device 107 to measure the temperature T of the elastic body of the elastic body actuator 102. Other composition and Picture 10 The illustrated control device of the second embodiment is the same, and the description will be omitted.

[0295] When the temperature of the elastomer of the elastomer actuator 102 changes, the elastic modulus of the elastomer changes, and the target pressure difference ΔP is calculated d The coefficients A and b of formula (1) change. In order to compensate for the influence caused by the temperature change of the elastic body, the temperature T is input into the temperature compensation device 202. The temperature compen...

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a control device and a control method of an elastic body actuator that controls the action of an elastic body actuator driven by deformation of an elastic body, such as a fluid pressure actuator, and also relates to an elastic body actuator drive that controls a movable mechanism driven by the elastic body actuator Control device and control method of type movable mechanism. Background technique [0002] In recent years, the development of household robots such as pet robots is actively underway, and in the future, it is expected that more practical household robots, such as housework assistance robots, will be put into practical use. Since domestic robots need to enter the home and live with humans, they are different from conventional industrial robots in the necessary styles. [0003] In industrial robots, electric motors or reducers are used, and high-gain feedback control is used to achieve high fingertip position accur...
