    20m super long robot arm - Giacometti Arm with Balloon Body

    Published on Dec 12, 2016

    Suzumori Endo Lab in Tokyo Institute of Technology has developed a 20m-long robot arm named “Giacometti Arm with Balloon Body”.
    The Giacometti Arm with Balloon Body has 20 joints driven by pneumatic, thin artificial muscles.
    Arm structures consist of helium-filled balloons and compensate for their self-weight.The robot is very light (1.2 kg) and essentially safe even if it falls down or hits something. It is expected to be used for search and inspection.
