Elephant Trunk Robotic Manipulator

A video of my PhD research at Clemson University from 2002. The focus of this work was to develop solutions for hyper-redundant robot manipulators. These types of arms have potential applications for working in very constrained environments (inside the complex piping of a nuclear power plant) or to be used as a "elephant trunk or tentacle" to grasp objects without the need for a hand. After my time at Clemson, Clemson and several other university partners participated in the DARPA OCTOR program, which was a pneumatic version of this attached to a EOD robot.
