A worm-inspired new spatial hyper-redundant manipulator
Robotica, 2010 SUMMARYIn this work a novel spatial hyper-redundant manipulator inspired in the motions of the worms is introduced. The displacement analysis is presented in a semi-closed form solution, whereas the velocity and acceleration analyses are carried out by ...

A hyper-redundant manipulator gluing system under multiple constraints
Advances in Mechanical EngineeringThere are many narrow gluing operation scenarios, such as engine components, turbine blades, and combustion chambers in the aerospace engineering. Traditional six-axis manipulator cannot enter such narrow spaces due to size constraints.

JOINT DESIGN FOR A HYPER-REDUNDANT SERIAL MANIPULATOR
Proceedings of the Canadian Engineering Education Association (CEEA), 2011 We propose a joint design for a low-cost, light-weight, hyper-redundant serial manipulator. The proposed design consists of two rigid end plates connected by a universal joint; two sets of agonist/antagonist linear actuator pairs allow independent 2-DOF ...

A geometrical inverse kinematics method for hyper-redundant manipulators
2008 10th International Conference on Control, Automation, Robotics and Vision, 2008 Hyper-redundant manipulators have large number of kinematic degrees of freedom, thus processing some unconventional features such as the ability to enter a narrow space while avoiding obstacles. To solve the problem of multi-solution caused by redundancy,
