Abstract

See full text

Disclosed herein is a flexible robotic limb. The design may include a backbone with rolling-contact joints connected to one another by pulley structures and corresponding cord loops engaged with the pulley structures. One or more flexible actuators may be used to control a length between adjacent links of the rolling contact joints to control articulation of the flexible robotic limb while still permitting passive reconfiguration of the flexible robotic limb when it is not being actively articulated.
