Abstract: AbstractA robot with variable degrees of freedom (DOFs) is hereby proposed as a quadruped climbing robot. The proposed robot uses the trunk as the active actuator driving the motion of the four leg ends to move based on ...

Abstract: Cable-driven continuum robots exhibit excellent capabilities in the unstructured environment due to their inherent compliance and dexterity. To improve the reliability and load capacity of continuum robots, increasing the ...

Abstract: In the deployable mechanism for a conventional truss antenna, the nodes cannot be adjusted to be uniform in attitude. To solve this problem, a method of adding constraint chains is proposed based on the reciprocal screw ...
