Development of a coupled tendon-driven 3D multi-joint manipulator (Investigation of tension transfer efficiency, optimal reel arrangement and tip positioning accuracy)

Long-reach robotic manipulators are expected to be used in the space where humans cannot work such as nuclear power plant disaster areas. We suggested a coupled tendon-driven articulated manipulator ‘3D CT-Arm’ and developed a preliminary prototype ‘Mini 3D CT-Arm’ whose arm had 2.4 m length and 0.3...
