A worm-inspired new spatial hyper-redundant manipulator
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 13 August 2010
Summary
In 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. Among typical applications of most hyper-redundant manipulators, interesting biomechanical applications such as the simulation of the motion of the spine are available for this new artificial worm.
