This was a project work carried out by 18 people. I led the construction group and also worked hands-on in the design and build process. The project developed a robot arm concept based on preloaded compliant structures, combining numerical modelling, material testing, and design iterations to study how compliant elements can be used as a mechanical motion structure.
The project examines the behaviour of loaded compliant structures over time and under tension, then uses these findings to design a robot arm concept with predictable deformation behaviour and repeatable motion.
