Abstract The sampling and monitoring of nature have become an important subject due to the rapid loss green areas. This work proposes a possible solution for method leaves using ornithopter robot equipped with onboard 94.1 g dual-arm cooperative manipulator. One hand is scissors-type arm other one gripper perform collection, approximately similar operation by human fingers. In move toward auton...

Bias deployable grids are meshes with two directions of rotation on the ground plan respect to edges. They offer benefits such as three-dimensional resistance supports around entire perimeter a rectangular layout, and consist exclusively load-bearing scissors opposed usual combinations bracing scissors. However, their angular distortion is limited, they require auxiliary elements maintain fully...

a new type of backbone robot is presented in this paper. the core idea is to use a cross shape mechanism with the principle of functioning of the scissors linkages, known as a pantograph. although this continuum arm acts quite similar to tendon-driven robot, this manipulator does not include any tendon in its structure. this design does not suffer from the weaknesses of the continuum design suc...
