The invention relates to a method of controlling the position of an elongate robotic arm comprising articulated segments. An actuator is associated with each segment to control its position, and a control system operates the actuators. Data representing the position of the arm is gathered and compared to input data that represents a required new position of a part of the arm. Data representing the required new position of the arm is then calculated, attempting to keep the remainder of the arm as close as possible to its previous position. The actuators are operated to move the arm into the new position. In tip following, the data representing the new position may define a path, and the arm may be fitted to the path by matching the position and orientation of a point on each pair of adjacent segments to that of the path.

A ratcheting apparatus includes a plurality of modular joints (110), a plurality of links (120,130) connected to the modular joints, and ratcheting means (180,190). A control system (1010) directs movements of the modular joints (110) and links (120,130).

Device coordinated robotic control technology is described. A network of robotic devices (100) is established. An anthropomorphic motion is sensed from an operator (300). One or more signals are generated that are representative of at least a portion of the anthropomorphic motion. The one or more signals are converted into a collective set of commands to actuate the network of robotic devices (100). The collective set of commands is functionally equivalent to the anthropomorphic motion.

At least one serpentine body is provided for maintenance operations on an object. At least one serpentine body is coupled to at least one sensor, and at least one serpentine body is coupled to at least one tool. The at least one sensor is configured to inspect the object, and the at least one tool is configured to modify the object.

This invention relates to redundant robotic apparatus and methods of deploying them. The specification teaches the methodology and construction of a robotic arm device capable of accessing machinery and equipment, which is otherwise difficult to access for maintenance and repair, and is particularly useful in the aeronautical, turbine and nuclear industries. In particular the invention includes apparatus which comprises a support arm comprising a plurality of longitudinal segments each capable of movement one with respect to the other to define a serpentine path or shape, work head carrying means at or towards the distal end of said arm and adapted to carry a work and or examination tool and control means for at least some of said segments to permit control of the shape of the associated segment so that different segments constituting the arm may assume different shapes whereby the arm may advance longitudinally along a predetermined access path to present said tool at said site. The use of a combination of segments, each comprising a plurality of links with separate control means for each segment allows inter alia such a device to extend longitudinally into a restricted space or pathway.

Methods of controlling a hyper redundant manipulator, the hyper redundant manipulator including: a plurality of sections comprising a first free end section and a second end section; and a base arranged to receive the plurality of sections in a coiled configuration, the base being coupled to the second end section of the plurality of sections, the method comprising: receiving a trajectory for movement of the plurality of sections; determining an error in position and/or orientation relative to the trajectory for one or more sections of the plurality of sections, the error being caused at least in part by the coiled configuration; and controlling movement of the one or more sections using the determined error to compensate for the error in position and/or orientation of the one or more sections.
