Real-time method for tip following navigation of continuum snake arm robots (2014)
Journal Article
Palmer, D., Cobos-Guzman, S., & Axinte, D. (2014). Real-time method for tip following navigation of continuum snake arm robots. Robotics and Autonomous Systems, 62(10), 1478-1485. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.robot.2014.05.013

This paper presents a novel technique for the navigation of a snake arm robot, for real-time inspections in complex and constrained environments. These kinds of manipulators rely on redundancy, making the inverse kinematics very difficult. Therefore,...
