Abstract
A robot hand having an attachment portion that is held when incorporated into a robot includes CFRP laminated to each other and a vibration-damping elastic layer that is disposed between the CFRP layer and the CFRP layer. The vibration-damping elastic layer includes viscoelastic resin regions including a viscoelastic resin and a high-rigidity resin region including high-rigidity resin. The viscoelastic resin regions and the high-rigidity resin region are alternately arranged along the direction intersecting the longitudinal direction of the CFRP layer in the attachment portion. The viscoelastic resin regions improve vibration-damping properties on the robot hand. As the viscoelastic resin regions and the high-rigidity resin region having relatively higher rigidity are alternately arranged along the direction intersecting the longitudinal direction of the CFRP layers, flexural rigidity along the longitudinal direction of the CFRP layer is improved.
