The solar array wing deployment of orbiting satellites cannot be performed due to power failure of the connector caused by uncertain loads such as high temperature or vibration in the launching process of the spacecraft. There is currently a lack of suitable unlocking solutions for solar wing re-unf…
There are few studies on the mechanics of the retractable backbone for continuum climbing robots, especially the non-circular cross-section. The retractable non-circular structure endows the robot with more compact structure, adjustability in initial stiffness, and dexterous mobility in narrow space
Force sensors made of a polymer material with soft characteristics have application potential in the fields of soft robotics, exoskeletons, and human motion measurement. However, the hysteresis of soft force sensors is generally large because their sensing materials are rubbers with large dynamic vi
Stiffness variation is useful in soft robots, especially for continuum manipulators which have a high slenderness ratio. Softness intrinsically gives robots high flexibility of movement, but stiffness gives the robots enough carrying capacity. Many types of continuum manipulators can change their st
