Abstract
This paper presents multi-degree-of-freedom (DOF) micro motion devices which was developed using a soft gel actuator, ICPF. They are superior to conventional micromanipulators in softness and compactness. 3-DOF motion was realized by a parallel mechanism with 4 ICPF actuators, and 6-DOF motion was created by an 8-actuator mechanism. The 3-DOF device had a maximum displacement 2 mm and a fast response up to 13 Hz. Experiments of teleoperation using a joystick proved that the device had enough ability for micromanipulation in which dynamic condition was important.
