PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a link mechanism that is used for expressing a motion of a natural animal and an artificial animal using the same.SOLUTION: A link mechanism for expressing a motion of a natural animal has N pieces of link elements formed by linking a jointγn and a jointβn, a jointγn and a jointδn, and a jointδn and a jointβn+1. Multiple link elements are linked by the jointγn and a jointγn+1. A jointβ1 is linked to a fulcrumα1, and is disposed on a circular orbit centering on the fulcrumα1 in a circulating manner. A jointδ1 is linked to a jointγ1 through a movable supportα2 disposed so that the mutual positional relationship with the fulcrumα1 can be varied. The jointδ1 and the jointγ1 are disposed in the circulating manner by constantly maintaining the mutual positional relationship on the circular orbit centering on the movable supportα2. Here, the n and N are integers of 1 or more. |
