Torque‐Transmitting Architected Metamaterials for Flexible and Extendable Tubular Robotics
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.Soft and continuum robots commonly rely on fluid, tendon, or rod‐based power transmissions, to control robotic form and actuation. This study presents an architected structure, based on patterned straight‐line mechanisms, that enables simultaneous bending, extending, and torsionally rigid (BETR) transmission.
