A History of LARMbot Humanoid

The historical-technical development of the LARMbot humanoid is presented with its design and functional characteristics referring to low-cost and user-based laboratory solutions for applications with limited operational capabilities. The concept of the humanoid LARMbot has been developed since 2001 with the aim of aggregating design solutions and prototypes of partial robotic structures in manipulation and locomotion until reaching the conception of a unitary project still with a modular strategy for a high-performance functional laboratory prototype with innovative cable-actuated structures built in 2016. The latest developments have been published in improvements and expansion of parallel cable-actuated structures for the torso and also for the upper limbs to ensure high-load capacity compared to the weight of the LARMbot humanoid structure.
