This letter presents a novel design of an anthropomorphic robotic hand. By using a parallel
plate knuckle with a universal joint, it is possible to achieve two degree of freedom (DOF) at …

This paper presents a novel technique for the navigation of a snake arm robot, for real-time
inspections in complex and constrained environments. These kinds of manipulators rely on …

Our study presents a novel design for a cable-driven robotic arm, emphasizing low cost, low
inertia movement, and long-term cable durability. The robotic arm shares similar …

In this paper, a novel flexible robot system with a constrained tendon-driven serpentine
manipulator (CTSM) is presented. The CTSM gives the robot a larger workspace, more …

This study presents a general framework for the dynamic analysis of tendon-driven co-
manipulative continuum robots with flexible objects. Hence, the actuations of the arms have …

Shape memory alloys (SMAs) are smart materials used in robotics because of its light weight
and high force-to-weight ratio. The low energy efficiency, up to 5%, has limited their use for …

This paper proposes a three degrees-of-freedom tensegrity structure with a mechanism
inspired by the ligamentous structure of the shoulder. The proposed mechanism simulates …

Demand of a lightweight robot arm for dexterously handling objects or working with low
inertia has become a new challenge in robotics. This paper comes up with a novel design of …

Dexterous robotic arms have gained increasing attention in the robotics community in recent
years, especially snake-like robots. A cable-driven snake-like robot arm (CDSLRA) owns a …

This paper proposes a novel design of 2-DOF Cable-Driven Parallel Wrist Mechanism
(CDPWM). This mechanism can achieve hemispherical movement in space which has a …
