A Defomable Handling Robot Based on Pneumatic System

In order to deal with the complicated work conditions the robots may encounter, this paper proposed a deformable handling robot from the aspect of structural uplift and the manipulator flip. The robot can put the objects in its storage box by a four-bar linkage, so it is able to handle several objects at the same time. The pneumatic system of the robot was simulated with AMESim. The results of the simulations and the experiments showed that the robot could complete the deformation and handling tasks, and improve the working efficiency greatly.
