Conventionally, joint position and link length of robots are designed according to the use and the environment to be used, but it is difficult to change the position during the operation. We proposed a robot that can move joints on the link, change the length of the link and arrange an appropriate position of joints according to the situation even when it is in motion. In our previous design, due to the structural problem, the joint position could only be placed in the same plane. In this paper, we propose a mechanism capable of arranging the joint axes orthogonally.
