Abstract: A multi jointed robot arm includes at least first and second link members connected by a connection arrangement and at least a first control cable. First and second ends of the first control cable engage with first and second engagement point of the first link member and first and second attachment points of the second link member. The assembly further includes a first actuator configured to selectively tension the first and second ends of the first control cable such that the second link member pivots toward a first or second side, wherein the connection arrangement is arranged to pivot at a first pivot point located substantially along a notional line extending between the first and second attachment points, and to pivot at a second pivot point extending between the first and second engagement points.

Abstract: A hyper-redundant manipulator for insertion into an area of interest through an aperture is shown. The hyper-redundant manipulator comprises a plurality of individually-lockable sections, each of which comprise a plurality of segments having positions that are adjustable relative to each other so as to adopt a pose. A respective locking mechanism is located in each section and is configured to switch between a locked condition in which the pose of the segments in the respective section is locked, and an unlocked condition in which the pose of the segments in the respective section is not locked. A plurality of actuators common to all of the sections are provided to adjust the pose of the segments in sections with a locking mechanism in an unlocked condition.
