Abstract: A continuum arm robot segment that has a proximal end section and a distal end section. The continuum arm robot segment has at least one vertebra between the proximal end section and the distal end section, the vertebra being linked to the proximal end section and to the distal end section by linkages, wherein the proximal end section, the distal end section and the at least one vertebra are configured to have hollow cores to provide a passage within the continuum arm robot segment. The continuum arm robot segment also has at least two tendons that are connected to the distal end section and pass through the at least one vertebra and the proximal end section. The at least two tendons are routed helically so that they undergo substantially at least a 360° rotation between the proximal end section and the distal end section.
