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.

Abstract: An inflatable probe for testing a component. The inflatable probe has a balloon formed of a dielectric material, the balloon having a neck and at least one electrode pair comprising an inner electrode and an outer electrode, the inner electrode being positioned on an internal surface of the balloon and the outer electrode being positioned on an external surface of the balloon. The inflatable probe also has a sealing plug that forms an air tight seal with neck of the balloon to retain a fluid within the balloon, the sealing plug at least having a seal electrode to connect to the inner electrode within the balloon, the sealing plug supporting a first wire to connect to a first seal electrode. The inflatable probe also has at least one tool that is connected to the balloon.

Abstract: A scanning fixture for use in moving a tool across a surface of an object is arranged to be attached to the object and comprises: a carriage arranged to have the tool connected thereto; and a frame arranged to be mounted on the object and to have the carriage mounted thereon. The frame comprises: a first mount arranged to be mounted on the object; a second mount arranged to be mounted on the object; a carriage support arranged to extend between the first and second mounts, across a surface of the object, and to have the carriage moveably connected thereto. The carriage support is a modular carriage support, comprising a plurality of modules rotatably mounted on an elongate member. The plurality of modules together form a path along which the carriage can move. The tool may be a probe for use in inspecting the object. The fixture may comprise one or more encoders arranged to generate position data for the carriage.

Abstract: A method for determining a location of an object relative to a component includes providing a frame. The method further includes coupling a plurality of encoders to the frame. The plurality of encoders is configured to generate a plurality of encoder signals. Each encoder signal from the plurality of encoder signals is representative of a location of the object relative to the respective encoder. The method further includes removably attaching the frame to the component. The method further includes receiving the plurality of encoder signals from the plurality of encoders. The method further includes determining a location of the object relative to the component based on the plurality of encoder signals.
