Abstract
A first bending portion, a second bending portion, a third bending portion, and a fourth bending portion are formed by a coiled spring. A front link member is disposed toward a front tube of the first bending portion, and a rear link member is disposed toward a rear tube of the fourth bending portion. A first intermediate link member is disposed between the first bending portion and the second bending portion, a second intermediate link member is disposed between the second bending portion and the third bending portion, and a third intermediate link member is disposed between the third bending portion and the fourth bending portion. A first actuator includes a tube member and an SMA wire member, and when a distance between the front link member and the tube member is shortened by driving the first actuator, the first bending portion is bent.
