Purpose For some special manipulators such as the ones work at the space station, nuclear or some other unmanned environments, the overload, collision, vibration, temperature change or release of the internal stress would affect the structural parameters. And thus the operation precision might...

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to design a soft robot for performing detection, by using a hybrid drive to reach the target point faster and enable the robot to perform the detection task at a relatively fast speed. Design/methodology/approach The soft robot is driven by a mixture of...

Purpose Due to dynamic model is the basis of realizing various robot control functions, and it determines the robot control performance to a large extent, this paper aims to improve the accuracy of dynamic model for n -Degree of Freedom (DOF) serial robot. Design/methodology/approach This paper...
