In recent years, quadruped robots have aroused a lot of interest in the scientific community due to their versatility in navigating different terrains. They have been particularly used in surveillance, inspection and search and rescue applications. For these tasks, it is not necessary to have great manipulation skills, but if precise interaction with objects is required, quadruped robots are not the best option. Thats why we decided to develop a robotic arm with a modular structure, designed specifically to be attached to quadruped robots in order to make them able to interact with objects and expand the range of tasks in which they can be applied, such as agricultural and industrial solutions.
