A Lightweight Long-Reach Manipulator with Highly Backdrivable Actuators for Outdoor Terrain-Contact Tasks: ParaLambda
This study proposes a lightweight long-reach outdoor robot arm equipped with highly backdrivable actuators, named “ParaLambda,” for terrain-contact tasks on uneven ground. The robot employs a parallel-link structure and carbon-fiber reinforced polymer links to achieve both long-reach and lightweight construction, while...
