Abstract

The LARMbot project intends to create a humanoid robot employing parallel mechanisms that are inspired by human anatomy. Solutions for humanoid arm are investigated combining the advantages of parallel and serial structures, as well as cable-driven architectures. A new solution has been designed for humanoid arm with a low-cost solution and user-oriented operation using commercial components and 3D printing manufacturing. Its feasibility is characterized by an analysis of operation performance via simulation whose reports are discussed also to suggest future improvements for construction and testing a prototype.
