Historically, small robots couldn’t have arms because the necessary motors made them too heavy. We addressed this challenge by replacing multiple motors with a single motor and miniature electrostatic clutches. This innovation allowed us to create a high-DOF, lightweight arm for small robots, which can even hitch onto a drone.
