STRUCTURE OF THE INFLATABLE TYPE, IN PARTICULAR FOR A ROBOTIC ARM

The present invention relates to a structure of the inflatable type, in particular having a substantially cylindrical shape, comprising an external enclosure which forms or encloses at least one fluid-tight chamber, wherein said chamber is inflated with a fluid by a generator or accumulator, wherein said structure has a first end comprising a first cap and a second end comprising a second cap. The peculiar feature of the present invention lies in the fact that said structure compnses: - a guide member constrained to said first cap and to said second cap, wherein the guide member is configured to extend and retract along a longitudinal axis of said guide member, which substantially coincides with a longitudinal axis of said structure, to allow the second cap and/or the first cap to make a movement along a direction substantially parallel to said longitudinal axis both during a phase of deploying or inflating said structure and during a phase of retracting or deflating said structure; - a return system configured to return the second cap towards the first cap during a phase of retracting or deflating said at least one structure.
