Discrete (Two-State) Modular Hyper-Redundant Planar Manipulator
This paper presents a concept of an extremely simple planar manipulator composed of 24 congruent modules. Each module has only two possible discrete positions in relation to the previous module: left (-π/6) or right (π/6).

A 'sidewinding' locomotion gait for hyper-redundant robots [PDF]
The kinematics of a form of hyper-redundant mobile robot locomotion which is analogous to the sidewinding locomotion of desert snakes are considered. This form of locomotion can be generated by a repetitive traveling wave of mechanism bending. Using a continuous backbone curve model, algorithms are developed which enable travel in a uniform direction ...

Hyper-redundant robot mechanisms and their applications [PDF]
Hyper-redundant robots have a large or infinite number of degrees of freedom. Such robots are analogous to snakes or tentacles and are useful for operation in highly constrained environments and novel forms of locomotion. The paper reviews newly developed methods for the kinematic analysis of hyper-redundant manipulators.

Design and Validation of a Novel Cable-Driven Hyper-Redundant Robot Based on Decoupled Joints
In most of the prior designs of conventional cable-driven hyper-redundant robots, the multiple degree-of-freedom (DOF) bending motion usually has bending coupling effects.

A new geometrical approach to solve inverse kinematics of hyper redundant robots with variable link length [PDF]
In this paper a new approach that generates a general algorithm for n-link hyper-redundant robot is presented. This method uses repetitively the basic inverse kinematics solution of a 2- link robot on some virtual links,where the virtual links are ...

An obstacle avoidance algorithm for hyper-redundant manipulators [PDF]
Novel kinematic algorithms for implementing planar hyperredundant manipulator obstacle avoidance is presented. Unlike artificial potential field methods, the method outlined is strictly geometric. Tunnels are defined in a workspace in which obstacles are presented.
