Abstract
This paper reviews lifting mechanisms and provides a description of a new lifting system that could be fixed on a mobile robot frame. The resulting collaborative mobile robots would be able to transport an object of any shape by lifting it above their transporting platform using the proposed system while keeping a stable formation in order to successfully achieve the task.
