SpiRobs

Flying robotic octopus anyone? Roboctopus?

Highlights
  • A bioinspired universal design principle based on the logarithmic spiral
  • Fast and low-cost fabrication based on 3D printing with TPU
  • A simple actuation mechanism by two or three cables
  • Numerous prototypes (ranging in length from centimeters to meters) and multi-robot arrays
Drawing inspiration from the fluidity and dexterity of natural appendages like the elephant trunk and octopus tentacles, this spiral-shaped robotic arm combines the precision of a human hand with the agility of animal limbs.
