Robotic device wich moves by alternately connecting each of its ends to docking stations

摘要

A robotic arm comprises a plurality of interconnected segments which are flexible relative to each other to permit the arm to be bent. A connection part is provided at each end of the arm for electrical connection with a selected docking station. The robotic arm can be moved between a first and a second docking station by bending the arm such that the second end of the arm is connecting to the second docking station and then disconnecting the first end of the arm from the first docking station. In this way the robotic arm can be moved around a network of docking stations.
