SUPER MECHANO-SYSTEMS: FUSION OF CONTROL AND MECHANISM

Abstract Super Mechano-System is the name of the research project at Tokyo Institute of Technology sponsored by the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. The aim is creating a New Mechanical Systems with self-organizing capabilities of its structure and functions adapting to the environment by the fusion of the control and mechanism. The system may have hyper redundant components with autonomous intelligence or several different functions, some of which integrate to have the most appropriate system for the objective in the varying environment by the fusion of control and mechanisms. This paper presents an aspect of the project relating to the control for the integration and its application to the control of the pendulum.
