Abstract
A novel deformation motion mechanism with precise motion precise motion and structural robustness is achieved. A deformation motion mechanism includes: an elastic ring member shaped symmetrically with respect to a center line, wherein one end of the elastic ring member is fixed and the other end is movable along the center line; a drive unit which is placed within the elastic ring member and is arranged to rotate a feed screw engaged with both ends of the elastic ring member along an operating line orthogonal to the center line, to press or stretch the elastic ring member along the center line; and a plurality of flexible arms which connects the drive unit to the elastic member in at least a direction of the center line.
