A geometric approach for follow-the-leader motion of serpentine manipulator

This article presents a geometric approach for path planning of serpentine manipulator for real-time control in confined spaces. Firstly, the mechanical design of a serpentine manipulator is introduced, and its kinematics is analyzed. As the serpentine manipulator usually has more than 10 degrees of...
