Design and Control of an Inflatable Spherical Robotic Arm for Pick and Place Applications
We present an inflatable soft robotic arm made of fabric that leverages state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques, leading to a robust and reliable manipulator. Three bellow-type actuators are used to control two rotational degrees of freedom, as well as the joint stiffness that is coupled to a long...
