A purpose of this project has been completed according to a schedule that we set up three year ago. A high power metal hydride (MH) actuator was developed and a prototype transfer aid was also designed using the actuator. The transfer was evaluated at a hospital by physical therapists from a point of view of usability. Furthermore, the prototype was improved based on the evaluation results in order to make it practical use.A basic study was carried out to design a soft MH actuator made of a polymer film for rehabilitation use. The optimal polymer material was determined for the soft actuator and some mechanical characteristics regarding thrust, speed, and hydrogen gas leak were measured. From the results, it was proved that the weight is 1/20 lighter, the thrust is 2 times larger, the speed is 2 times higher, and the price is much lower than the conventional MH actuator.The above two results show that the rehabilitation apparatus and the transfer aid using the new MH actuators will be designed for practical use in the near future.

这个项目的目的已经按照我们三年前制定的时间表完成了。开发了高功率金属氢化物 (MH) 执行器，并使用该执行器设计了原型转移辅助装置。物理治疗师在医院从可用性的角度对转移进行了评估。此外，根据评估结果对原型进行了改进，以使其实用化。针对设计用于康复用途的由聚合物薄膜制成的软MH执行器进行了基础研究。确定了软执行器的最佳聚合物材料，并测量了有关推力、速度和氢气泄漏的一些机械特性。从结果证明，与常规MH执行器相比，重量减轻了1/20，推力大了2倍，速度提高了2倍，而且价格远低于常规MH执行器。以上两项结果表明，康复使用新型 MH 执行器的设备和转移辅助装置将在不久的将来设计用于实际应用。
