Abstract
Anchoring systems can be applied to connect a robotic system with its power supply structure (for example, umbilical cables), and then separate the same into several modules, each containing a pair of anchors. A sleeve is tensioned, by pulling the ring against its stop and, thus, performing a self-locking. The self-locking occurs because the friction force generated at the lace interface is greater than the sleeve tensioning force. In addition, the mesh is tightened by threading the stop of the ring in the house of the ring. The anchoring systems can be applied to any part of the robot and as many times as necessary, not being limited to the connection with the umbilical.
