 ASAHI KASEI FIBERS have developed strechable electric wire “ROBODEN” by applying polyurethane elastic fiber “ROICA”, and started commercial distribution. “ROBODEN” is good in streching and inflection durability, and does not sag. Thus it is an optimal and epoch-making product which could be applied for robots (industrial robots, nursing-care robots and humanoid robots) and wearable devices where narrow wiring is required.
