Overview of Technology
Multi-mini-arm robotic arm designed to enhance efficiency by enabling simultaneous handling of multiple objects, reducing costs and energy consumption compared to traditional robotic arms.
Background
Current robotic arms typically manage one object at a time, limiting their efficiency in various applications. By integrating multiple mini-arms at the end of a larger robotic arm, this innovation allows for independent movement and manipulation of several objects simultaneously, significantly increasing throughput.
Description of Technology
This technology features a primary robotic arm equipped with several smaller robotic arms, each capable of independent movement and equipped with various end-effectors. This design not only reduces the overall cost of robotic systems but also minimizes energy consumption and enhances operational flexibility in tight spaces.
