This study addresses the high demands for carrying capacity and versatility when the robotic arm grasps objects of different shapes, and has designed a variable stiffness flexible robotic arm based on the fin ray effect principle. The robotic arm integrates the advantages of under actuated technology and flexible materials, demonstrating excellent passive compliance, and significantly enhances its carrying capacity through the design of a variable stiffness structure. A new variable stiffness finger design scheme was proposed in the study, which, by integrating the concept of an exoskeleton, realizes the dual-mode operation capability of the robotic arm: gently grasping fragile objects in low stiffness mode and firmly holding heavy objects in high stiffness mode. ABAQUS simulation and experimental testing were used to verify the performance enhancement effect of the variable stiffness mechanism, and the results showed that after the variable stiffness mechanism was activated, the maximum carrying capacity of the robotic arm was increased by nearly 9.89 times, while maintaining good compliance.
