A Translational Parallel Continuum Robot Reinforced by Origami and Cross-Routing Tendons
Charles Troeung,Chao Chen,Charles Troeung,Chao Chen
We introduce an origami-reinforced parallel continuum robot which is capable of maintaining the orientation of the end effector regardless of the bending shape. The cross-routing tendons provide an effective actuation of the robot because the constant length of the backbones prevent the actuation of parallel arrangement of tendons. We utilise the arclength relationship of parallel curves to show t...
