    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 actuator includes a first actuator unit including first actuator fibers and a second actuator unit including second actuator fibers located between plate members. The first and second actuator fibers stretch or contract when temperature changes. A spring rate of the second actuator fibers is higher than that of the first actuator fibers. A maximum displacement amount of the second actuator unit is smaller than that of the first actuator unit. The temperature of the first actuator fibers is controlled in a case where a displacement amount of one plate member relative to the other plate member is smaller than a first displacement amount, and the temperature of the first actuator fibers and the temperature of the second actuator fibers are controlled in a case where the displacement amount is equal to or larger than the first displacement amount and equal to or smaller than a maximum displacement amount.

    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 actuator includes a first actuator fiber and a second actuator fiber that are connected to plate members, a frame member provided at a fixed distance from the plate member; and a controller that controls temperature of the first actuator fiber and temperature of the second actuator fiber. Each of the first actuator fiber and the second actuator fiber is wound spirally and stretches or contracts when temperature thereof is changed. Stretch or contraction of the first actuator fiber or the second actuator fiber based on the control of the temperature causes the plate member to be locked to the frame member or to be unlocked from the frame member.
