Design Outline for Mini-Arms Based on Manipulator Technology,

Abstract

The design of small manipulators is an art requiring proficiency in diverse disciplines. This paper documents some of the general ideas illustrated by a particular design for an arm roughly one quarter human size. The material is divided into the following sections: General design constraints; features of existing manipulator technology; scaling relationships for major arm components; design of a particular small manipulator; and comments on future possibilities.
