Abstract
A strap connector, a robotic arm and a robot are provided. The strap connector includes a core, a strap and a pulley. The core includes a belly portion and a neck portion fixed to the belly portion. The neck portion has a width tapering in a direction away from the belly portion. The pulley defines a core chamber in which the core is received, the core chamber is accessible through an opening. The strap is connected to the core and extending out of the core chamber through the opening. The core chamber has two inner side walls opposing each other and extending from the opening. The neck portion is disposed closer to the opening than the belly portion. The two inner walls of the core chamber clamp the neck portion and the strap when the strap is tensioned.
