Design and development of a novel lightweight long-reach composite robotic arm

Metallic robotic arms, or manipulators, currently dominate automated industrial operations, but due to their intrinsic weight, have limited usefulness for large-scale applications in terms of precision, speed, and repeatability. This thesis focuses on exploring the feasibility of using polymeric com...
