A hyper-redundant manipulator for Mobile Manipulating Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

2013 International Conference on Unmanned Aircraft Systems (ICUAS), 2013
Due to their ability to navigate in 6 degree of freedom space, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) can access many locations that are inaccessible to ground vehicles. While mobile manipulation is an extremely active field of research for ground traveling host platforms, UAVs have historically been used for applications that avoid interaction with their ...

Computing forward statics from tendon-length in flexible-joint hyper-redundant manipulators

IEEE/RJS International Conference on Intelligent RObots and Systems
Hyper-redundant tendon-driven manipulators offer greater flexibility and compliance over traditional manipulators. A common way of controlling such manipulators relies on adjusting tendon lengths, which is an accessible control parameter.

Trajectory Planning for Hyper-Redundant Manipulators Based on Lie Theory

International Conference on Real-time Computing and Robotics, 2021
Trajectory planning has always been an area worthy of attention in the application of hyper-redundant robots. This paper proposes a method using Lie group to achieve trajectory planning for hyper-redundant manipulators.

Binary hyper-redundant robotic manipulator concept

2004 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 ...

Generalized software components for reconfiguring hyper-redundant manipulators

IEEE/ASME Transactions on Mechatronics, 2002
An application of Operational Software Components for Advanced Robotics (OSCAR) - a generalized robotic software framework - for kinematic control of hyper-redundant, self-reconfigurable systems is presented. OSCAR includes generalized kinematics, dynamics, device interfacing, and criteria-based decision making.

A ‘Multilink Spatial Hyper Redundant’ Manipulator

2012
Conventionally, industrial robots manipulate their end effector in a pre defined workspace. Structures are made rigid to cater the pay load requirements. Navigation of these arm inspired robots in cluttered environment pose a challenging task, hence the focus on the continuum robots becomes a cynosure.

A Local Obstacle Avoidance and Global Planning Method for the Follow-the-Leader Motion of Coiled Hyper-Redundant Manipulators

IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics
Cable-driven hyper-redundant manipulators (CDHRMs) enable unique tasks in confined spaces while presenting challenges for collision-free path planning. This article introduces a novel planning method called the stepwise follow-the-leader (SFTL) algorithm.

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.

Solving the inverse kinematics problem of discretely actuated hyper-redundant manipulators using the multi-module searching method

Robotica (Cambridge. Print)
Hyper-redundant manipulators are produced by cascading several mechanisms on top of each other as modules. The discrete actuation makes their control easier because discrete actuators usually do not need any feedback to control.

Reconfiguration of Modular Hyper-Redundant Manipulators via Normalised Manipulability, Workspace Density, and Workspace Volume Percentage Indices

2024 6th International Conference on Reconfigurable Mechanisms and Robots (ReMAR)
In recent decades, the demand for service robotics has increased in different applications. In particular, inspection and maintenance tasks require to operate in hazardous, dan-gerous, or inaccessible areas where robots can safely operate.
