PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a peristaltic motion robot that can change a travelling direction to the direction other than front and rear direction by itself.SOLUTION: In the peristaltic motion robot, peristaltic units having a cylindrical expansion member formed of an elastic expansion body expanding in a radial direction and contracting in an axial direction by pressurization, and a fluid supply passage for supplying and discharging a fluid to the expansion member are vertically and horizontally arranged in a lattice shape. A plurality of column units constituted by serially arranging at least 3 or more of the peristaltic units are arranged in longitudinal and a lateral directions.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】前後以外の方向に自ら進行方向を変更することができる蠕動運動ロボットを提供すること。【解決手段】加圧により径方向に膨張するとともに軸方向に収縮する弾性膨張体から成る筒状の膨張部材と、該膨張部材に流体を給排する流体給排路を有する蠕動単位ユニットを上下左右に格子状配置した蠕動運動ロボットであって、該蠕動単位ユニットを少なくとも3個以上直列配置して構成した列ユニットを、縦方向および横方向に複数配列した。【選択図】図1
