Kinetic Sciences Inc. (1995) developed a tentacular robot, powered by a hybrid system of pneumatic bellows and electric motors. It can extend, contract and bend in 6 dof by using tendons threaded through cable guides. Tentacle-like manipulators with adjustable tension lines by Guy Immega Patent number: 5317952 Filing date: Dec…
A world’s-first robot that he built had inflatable arm linkages for deployment in hostile and confined spaces. The inflatable robot is a low-volume and low-weight alternative to rigid arms. The inflatable robot arms can achieve the required load-bearing capacity and rigidity through the appropriate selection of size and pressure. The…
A Six Degrees-of-Freedom parallel inflatable robot. Patricia Dombiak (Ben-Horin), Moshe Shoham and Gershon Grossman. Little is known about this robot. It was built as part of her Masters Thesis. P. Ben-Horin, M.Sc., "A Six Degrees-of-Freedom Parallel Robot with Three Planarly Actuated Links", 1994. Technion - Israel Institute of Technology, Dept.…
Life-size Humanoid Walking Robots One of the hardest things to do in robotics is build a 2-legged robot. These robots, made from balsa wood and paper, use the lifting power provided by helium balloons or propellors to leverage themselved upright and activated via remote control. They seem to wander about with…
