1A1-D07 Robotic Automation of Tying Task Using Elastic Cap on Tie-Dyeing of Traditional Craft(Robots for Works)

Abstract

There is serious problem of aging of the craftsmen who have tie-dyeing technique. In substitution for a "tying" process by thread in tie-dyeing, we have proposed the usage of elastic caps. A cloth is pushed into the cap by a needle attached on the robot hand. In this report, to improve the work efficiency a cap cartridge and a sub robot were examined. It was confirmed that the high efficiency of the work was achieved and an increase in the speed of robot was also effective.
