The JPL Serpentine Robot: a 12-DOF system for inspection
1995
The Serpentine Robot is a prototype hyper-redundant (snake-like) manipulator system developed at the
Jet PropulsionLaboratory. It is designed to navigate and perform tasks in obstructed and constrained environments in which conventional 6-DOF manipulators cannot similarly function. This paper describes the Serpentine Robot
mechanical design, a low level
inverse kinematicalgorithm for the joint assembly, a brief synopsis of control development to date, and the applications of this technology.
