Deployable high-rigidity robot arm in folding and rolling storage type and mobile robot including same

Abstract

Proposed is a deployable high-rigidity robot arm in a folding and rolling type. the deployable high-rigidity robot arm includes a hub capable of being rotated forward or backward, a plurality of panels having a sliding and folding structure that is capable of being wound or unwound on the hub, a shape-forming apparatus coupled to the plurality of panels and configured such that the plurality of panels is unwound from the hub and a bent structure is formed, and a shape-maintaining apparatus configured to maintain and extend the bent structure formed by the shape-forming apparatus. Furthermore, the plurality of panels is configured to be telescoped by a rotation of the hub while the plurality of panels maintains the bent structure.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
