Abstract

A multi-armed robotic translation device includes a robotic body that includes a base section and a cover section attached to the base section. A plurality of tentacles is attached to the robotic body. The plurality of tentacles are configured to apply a shear force on the target object to grip the target object using an adhesive force, each tentacle including at least one shape memory alloy wire configured to move the tentacle. A control system is positioned in the robotic body and is configured to provide power and/or control signals to the tentacles.
