Versatile Like a Seahorse Tail: A Bio‐Inspired Programmable Continuum Robot For Conformal Grasping

摘要

Bio-Inspired Robots In article number 2200263, Jie Zhang, Hamed Rajabi, Haijun Peng, Jianing Wu, and co-workers propose a cable-driven continuum robot with tapered tensegrity inspired by the high adaptability of seahorse tails in grasping, capable of conformally grasping objects with various curvatures. The robotic design, which presents an example of embedded physical intelligence, can inspire in situ characterization techniques for collecting floating contaminants.
