Abstract

The octopus arm is a unique tool that combines strength and flexibility. It can shorten, elongate and bend at any point along its length. To model this behavior, a hyper-redundant manipulator composed of multiple segments is proposed. Each segment is a parallel robotic mechanism with redundant actuation. The kinematics and dynamics of this manipulator are analyzed and simulated utilizing a modular computational modeling method. Simulation results for some primitive movements are presented, and the effect of hydrodynamic forces is included.
