Design of a Robot Arm Based on Functional Anatomy for Humanoid Robots

Abstract

In this study, we examined the frame structure for developing a robot arm of humanoid robots from the upper arm to the forearm, based on functional anatomy. A 3D CAD model of a robotic arm incorporating human anatomical features was created, and an assessment of its range of motion was conducted. The evaluation results demonstrated that the integration of human anatomy achieved an expansion of the range of motion.
