A worm-inspired new spatial hyper-redundant manipulator

open access: yesRobotica, 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 means of the theory of screws.

A geometrical inverse kinematics method for hyper-redundant manipulators

open access: yes2008 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, a geometrical method is presented in this paper.

Binary hyper-redundant robotic manipulator concept

open access: yes2004 IEEE Region 10 Conference TENCON 2004., 2004
Continuously actuated robotic manipulators are the most common type of manipulators even though they require sophisticated and expensive control and sensor systems to function with high accuracy and repeatability. Binary hyper-redundant (Bi-HR) robotic manipulators are potential candidates to be used in applications where high repeatability and ...

The position control of a spatial binary hyper redundant manipulator through its inverse kinematics

open access: yesProceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part C: Journal of Mechanical Engineering Science, 2013
This article is about the position control of a binary hyper redundant manipulator, which is driven by pneumatic on-off actuators. The end platform of the binary hyper redundant manipulator bears a small fine tuning manipulator, which is a continuously ...

Manipulability Analysis for Cable-Driven Hyper-Redundant Manipulators

2021 IEEE 17th International Conference on Automation Science and Engineering (CASE), 2021
Cable-driven hyper-redundant manipulators (CDHMs) have been widely applied in aerospace, surgery, or other fields to complete tasks in narrow and multi-obstacles environments. Maneuverability is an important metric for CDHMs and is more difficult to analyze than traditional industrial robots because of their more complicated kinematics.

Theory and Applications of Hyper-Redundant Robotic Manipulators [PDF]

open access: yes, 1992
The term "hyper-redundant" refers to robotic manipulators and mobile robots with a very large, possibly infinite, number of actuatable degrees of freedom. These robots are analogous in morphology and operation to snakes, worms, elephant trunks, and tentacles.

Shape control of hyper redundant manipulator

Proceedings of 1995 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2002
This paper shows a control law to let hyper redundant manipulators be in specified shapes. Such shape controls are necessary for whole arm manipulation, crevice penetrations and obstacle avoidance. The proposed control is complete local-wise law. Each controller can determine its joint motion by itself while every controller has the same hardware and ...

A Distributed Control For Hyper Redundant Manipulator

Proceedings of the IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems, 2005
This paper proposes a distributed con- trol law for a hyper redundant manipulator which has huge number of links. and moves in 3-dimensional gravity free space. Each controller can independently determine the way how to move each link. The necessary information for the controller is only on the target position, the po- sition of the end-effector and ...

A local feedback law for hyper-redundant manipulators

Advanced Robotics, 1994
This paper shows that a set of equal local linear controllers can accomplish PTP controls for highly redundant manipulators. The proposed control architecture is very simple and robust, while the conventional hierarchical controls require complex calculation and need to be sensitive to accidents.

Design and study of a novel hyper-redundant manipulator

Robotica, 2003
Summary A novel hyper-redundant manipulator named RT1 is presented in this paper. The key feature of RT1 is that all degrees of freedom (DOF) are actuated with only one motor, via specially designed hinge bar universal joints. The mechanism of RT1 which includes a special hinge bar universal joint, bend structure and motion diversion structure is ...
