We designed a new telescopic manipulator that uses a clustered elastic convex tape. The manipulator has an ultra-wide expansion range and toughness against mechanical stress. Compared to conventional linear actuators, our convex-type manipulators have high extension range and are very lightweight. Moreover, they are compact when rolled up. The telescopic manipulators designed in the previous study had insufficient output due to structural problems and were unstable. In this study, we report a Type-K telescopic manipulator mechanism (Makijaku-Ude Type-K), which is a redesigned manipulator that can be easily used with a 300-N class power, and applied the mechanism to a three degrees-of-freedom spatial parallel-mechanism robot.
