Abstract:
Octopus arms have the infinite degrees of freedom, which is the goal for roboticists. In order to achieve to this goal, researching the function of their hydrostatic muscle structure is required. Hence, this work explores the functions of the major muscle groups presented in octopus’s arms during the arm movements. Arm functionality was monitored through performing electromyography (EMG) signals of the arm muscles. Depended on the EMG’s signal, the movement can be interpreted by which muscle groups are active. Additionally, it describes the details of the experiment to collect the clear EMG’s signals. The information provided in this paper can improve the design of future soft-robotics arms and bodies.
