Design and Kinematic Control of the Cable-Driven Hyper-Redundant Manipulator for Potential Underwater Applications

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2019
Underwater manipulators are important robotic tools in the exploration of the ocean environment. Up to now, most existing underwater manipulators are rigid and with fixed 5 or 7 degrees of freedom (DOF), which may not be very suitable for some ...
