This letter presents an index finger of human-like robotics hand which intends to closely replicate the human finger in terms of bones, ligaments, muscles, extensor mechanism, tendon, and its pulley system. We fabricated the muscles of the index finger using thin multifilament McKibben muscles that
As part of our research on developing different types of Giacometti robots, the potential of a very long, very light, and very simple robot arm with a balloon body is discussed in this paper. Although this robot arm is not suitable for precise positioning, rapid motion, and high load capacity, which
As a part of our research on several different types of Giacometti robots, a 20-m-long, considerably light, and simple robot arm, referred to as the Giacometti arm, is developed in this study. Even though the Giacometti arm is not suitable for precise positioning, rapid motion, and high load capacit…
