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.
