Abstract

In this paper, we propose a robot that creates new functions by uniting with other objects. Such a robot can be applied to various situations by creating functions that fit to the situations. In this paper, we describe the elements of the proposed robot and development of two types of prototypes. The first prototype has an uniting function by gripping objects, and we conducted a demonstration of creating an automatic angle adjustment function on a projector using this prototype. The second prototype has an uniting function by using electromagnets and we conducted demonstrations of creating a function to handle object on a high place and creating automatic open and close functions for a door using this prototype.
