STRUCTURE GONFLABLE ARTICULEE ET BRAS ROBOTISE COMPORTANT UNE TELLE STRUCTURE

摘要

An articulated structure having a tubular inflatable casing that contains a fluid under pressure and that has a central axis along which there are defined at least one fixed-geometry segment and at least one variable-geometry segment, the arm including a deformation mechanism for deforming the variable-geometry segment, the casing and the deformation mechanism arranged so as to generate curvature of the variable-geometry segment in such a manner that the variable-geometry segment conserves a volume that is substantially constant. A robot arm including such a structure.
