Gravity-Assisted Shape-Locking Articulated Discrete Serial Robot for Ceiling-Mounted Manipulation in Patient Care
ICRA 2026poster
Continuum robots are promising for assistive manipulation, but often lack the stiffness and payload capacity required for real-world tasks. This paper investigates the feasibility of a novel dual-mode, gravity-assisted ceiling-mounted articulated discrete serial robot that transitions between passiv…
