    Abstract: A robot hand apparatus includes a first holder having a bendable first sucking surface that sucks an object using negative pressure; and a second holder having a bendable second sucking surface that sucks the object using negative pressure. The first holder and the second holder are arranged such that the first sucking surface opposes the second sucking surface. When the first holder and the second holder hold the object, in a state in which the first sucking surface is bent at a first position and the second sucking surface is bent at a second position, the object is sucked to a region of the first sucking surface between the first position and a distal end of the first holder, and the object is sucked to a region of the second sucking surface between the second position and a distal end of the second holder.

    Abstract: An assist wear item is worn on a portion of a living body and has an inner surface brought into contact with the portion. The assist wear item includes assisting actuators, contact sensors, and a controller. Each assisting actuator is driven to expand and contract. The assisting actuators are linearly arranged along an expansion/contraction direction of a muscle at the portion. Each contact sensor detects a contact with an outer surface of the assist wear item. If the controller receives a detection result indicating a first contact from a first contact sensor among the contact sensors and receives a detection result indicating a second contact from a second contact sensor within a first time period after reception of the detection result indicating the first contact, the controller increases or decreases a driving power of expansion/contraction driving of an assisting actuator corresponding to the second contact sensor.

    Abstract: An electric wheelchair includes a main frame; a driving wheel supported by the main frame; an electric motor disposed on the main frame to drive the driving wheel; a clutch that switches a power transmission path from the electric motor to the driving wheel between an engagement state and a disengagement state; and a clutch operation handle configured to be moved in a predetermined range in an up-down direction. The clutch operation handle is configured so that when the clutch operation handle is stopped at a lowest position of the predetermined range, the clutch is operated so as to be in one of the engagement state and the disengagement state, and when the clutch operation handle is stopped at a highest position of the predetermined range, the clutch is operated so as to be in the other state.

    Abstract: A moving body that follows a preceding moving body includes a position calculator that identifies a position of the preceding moving body based on an output value from a sensor that acquires information around the moving body, a receiver that receives displacement information indicating a displacement amount of a position of the preceding moving body due to movement of the preceding moving body, and an operation controller that performs control to move the moving body based on an identified position of the preceding moving body and the displacement information in a state of losing sight in which the position calculator cannot identify a position of the preceding moving body.

    Abstract: An actuator includes a displaceable portion, first to fourth artificial muscles, a pressure adjuster that changes a pressure of a fluid filled in the first and second artificial muscles, an open-close valve that allows a fluid to flow into or out of the third and fourth artificial muscles, and a controller that drives the pressure adjuster and controls the open-close valve. Each of the first to fourth artificial muscles includes a coiled elastic tube. In an outer circumferential surface of the tube, grooves are helically formed about an axis of the tube. The tube is filled with a fluid. In the first artificial muscle, a direction in which the tube is coiled is opposite to a direction in which the grooves extend helically. In each of the second to fourth artificial muscles, a direction in which the tube is coiled is the same as a direction in which the grooves extend helically.
