Innovation design of flexible manipulator by TRIZ

摘要

This paper proves a whole flexible manipulator prototyping by the TRIZ theory. It is composed by five steel wires which does not only make the structure become compact and easy to manipulate, but also have a low cost, nicely adapted to the working environment. The design process verified the application of the former method. The structure breaks through the joint type of flexible structure, and provides a reference for the similar flexible structure in different fields. The method that combines structure design and TRIZ theory also has been proven to be an efficient tool for engineering design.
