Abstract
A marionette is a moving puppet that can be made to perform several actions by pulling wires connected to the puppet. Because a marionette is operated by hand, a stage performance with a human-sized marionette is impossible. However, a marionette robot operated using a wire controller could be used as a human-sized marionette to conduct a stage performance with other robots or actors. In addition, by using mobile stages that utilize mobile platforms, a wire controller, and the marionette robot body, the large marionette robot system designed in this study can be made to rotate and translate freely in a stage performance. The feasibility of the structure of the marionette robot wire control system is verified by using dynamics analysis. Furthermore, the efficiency and safety of the robot is demonstrated by manufacturing and operating a prototype robot.
