Abstract
The research on bionic robotic arms originates from the aspiration to imitate and replicate the structure and functions of the human arm. With advancements in technology, particularly in the rapid development of robotics, sensor technology, and materials science, robust technical support has been provided for the study of bionic robotic arms. Additionally, as people's demands for a higher quality of life increase, so does the need for mechanical devices that can undertake arduous, hazardous, or high-precision tasks in place of humans. Especially in fields such as industrial production, healthcare, and military security, the research and application of bionic robotic arms have become a focal point in today's technological landscape. This article presents a comprehensive overview of the research background, development trajectory, and future prospects of three specific areas: flexible robotic arms for confined space operations, bionic robotic arms for rotorcraft, and bionic jellyfish robotic arms. The aim is to provide theoretical support and technical references for research and engineering applications in related fields
