This disclosure discloses a robot hand of underactuated mechanism. The robot hand includes a plurality of actuators, a plurality of joints where the number of the joints is more than the number of the actuators, a palm portion, three finger portions each including a plurality of links having bases coupled to the palm portion and coupled being capable of flexion, and a shape-fitting mechanism which is provided in at the finger portion, and which enables to grasp an object to be grasped in an enclosing manner with the finger portions by performing providing torsional displacement to the links.

Robot hand and robot device

There are included a plurality of actuators, an instruction generator for generating instructions of plural degrees of freedom, a position arithmetic unit for calculating positions of plural degrees of freedom from signals of a plurality of sensors, a control arithmetic unit for calculating operation amounts of plural degrees of freedom from the instructions of plural degrees of freedom and the positions of plural degrees of freedom, a thrust force conversion arithmetic unit for calculating thrust force instructions of the plurality of actuators from the operation amounts of the plural degrees of freedom, a current instruction unit for calculating current instructions which should be flowed to the plurality of actuators, and a sensor configuration input device for selecting a desired sensor configuration from among a plurality of sensor configurations. The positions of plural degrees of freedom are calculated by using a position arithmetic expression corresponding to a selected sensor configuration.

Multi-degree-of-freedom stage control system

A magnetic levitation system includes a levitation-actuator movable element which generates a levitation force applied to a control object; and a levitation-actuator stator which receives a reactive force while the control object is being operated, the levitation-actuator stator being attached to a fixed or movable structure. The levitation-actuator stator includes levitation-actuator stator units connectable to each other in a travelling direction. Each levitation-actuator stator unit includes a coil and an iron core for generating a levitation force between the levitation-actuator stator unit and the levitation-actuator movable element. A length of an end portion of each iron core is equal to or larger than a length of each coil between the ends of the coil so that the cores are continuously arranged without gaps therebetween when the levitation-actuator stator units are connected to each other in the travelling direction.
