Design of a Lightweight and Deployable Soft Robotic Arm

Abstract: Soft robotics represents a rising trend in recent years, due to the ability to work in unstructured environments or in strict contact with humans. Introducing soft parts, robots can adapt to various contexts overcoming limits relative to the rigid structure of traditional ones. Main issues of soft robotics systems concern the relatively low force exertion and control complexity. Moreover, several fields of application, as space industry, need to develop novel lightweight and deployable robotic systems, that ca… Show more

“…It can not only save a lot of human resources, but also overcome the harsh working environment. These make it widely used in industry [1,2], aviation [3,4], medical [5] and other fields, and play a pivotal role in social and economic development. Manipulators are also the typical representative of advanced manufacturing technology and automation equipment, which have been highly valued by industry and academia.…”

“…There has always been an interest in developing robotic arms that are fast, accurate, repeatable, and energy-efficient for industrial applications. But, recently, research on robotic arms with more sophisticated capabilities, such as stiffness modulation, deployability, and safe interaction with the environment, has been gaining prominence [1], [2]. An important source of inspiration for developing such robots stems from the nature/biological systems, e.g., human arm in [3], giraffe's neck in [4], bird's neck in [5], elephant's trunk in [6].…”
