Scientists develop novel robotic arm that can be used in extreme environments (like outer space)

Borrowing ideas from the Japanese art of origami, a Korean research team devised a folding robotic arm. According to an article on Science Daily, the mechanical limb is capable of self-assembly and possesses high rigidity. The Seoul National University (SNC) design leveraged variable stiffness technology, which uses complex mechatronic actuators to combine the strengths of […]
