Kinematically optimal hyper-redundant manipulator configurations [PDF]
Proceedings 1992 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 1995 "Hyper-redundant" robots have a very large or infinite degree of kinematic redundancy. This paper develops new methods for determining "optimal" hyper-redundant manipulator configurations based on a continuum formulation of kinematics. This formulation uses a backbone curve model to capture the robot's essential macroscopic geometric features.
