Abstract
Hyper-redundant robot architectures are suitable for usage in mobile inspection robots. An on-site inspection scenario can be characterized by the need to bring any user-defined sensor module into the area and to position this module precisely at the measuring point. Such inspection manoeuvres are complex and require extensive control techniques. In the past few years much effort has been spent into development of multi-segmented mobile robots. Such systems offer great driving capabilities due to their kinematics.
