Tendon-Driven Robot Proof of Concept Alive: New Topologies Next
IanPritchard · x · 2026-07-23
A developer demonstrated a successful proof of concept for a tendon-driven robotic arm. The creator noted that the actuators are not yet in their optimal configuration, with plans to test two additional configurations and try out two fresh actuator topologies. The coil winder is expected to be kept busy this week.
