Short summary
Inspired by stem cell whereas different from the other robot "cell" or "molecule", a fundamental mechanical stem cell is proposed leading to the development of mechanical cells, bones and a Sarrus-linkage-based muscle. Using the proposed bones and muscles, a bio-inspired modular-based five-degrees-of-freedom robotic arm is developed to show that the stem-cell inspired pure mechanical stem cell has parallels in biology and provides a modular flexible way to build robotic arm and development.
