    摘要: A robot includes a body, a first arm, and a second arm. The first arm includes one joint, an adjacent joint that is adjacent to the one joint, and another adjacent joint that is adjacent to the adjacent joint. When the first arm is extended in a vertical orientation relative to the body, the one joint of the first arm has a rotation axis that is offset by a first distance in a first horizontal direction from a rotation axis of the adjacent joint of the first arm, and the another adjacent joint of the first arm has a rotation axis that is offset by a second distance in a second horizontal direction from the rotation axis of the adjacent joint of the first arm. The first horizontal direction is opposite to the second horizontal direction.

    摘要: A twisted string actuator system includes a motor generating rotary motion of a rotor and a twisted string comprised of a pair of cords. One end of the twisted string is attached to the rotor and an opposite end of the twisted string is coupled to a load. The cords are twisted about each other for a first section of the twisted string and untwisted for a second section of the twisted string. A cord guide is fixedly disposed between the cords. The first and second sections of the twisted string are on a first side and second side, respectively, of the cord guide. Rotary motion of the rotor in one direction operates to twist the pair of cords on the first side of the cord guide while pulling a portion of the pair of cords from the second side of the cord guide into the first side.

    摘要: Compliant manipulators are provided, in which the manipulators include a plurality of slideably interlocked filaments each having a proximate end and a distal end. The interlocked filaments can be formed from a flexible material. The compliant manipulators can also include at least one filament-actuating device operatively connected to the respective distal ends of the plurality of slideably interlocked filaments. The at least one filament-actuating device can be manipulated directly or remotely to push and/or pull the respective filaments to impart a desired movement to the manipulator. The stiffness or flexibility of the manipulators can also be controlled to provide varying degrees of stiffness during use.
