[@nynzxoxo]

Can I ask what you used for the spine that went through the middle of all of it?

[@denpono9763]

HDPE rod

[@TurtleMaster326]

@@denpono9763 anyone who has ever played skyfactory 4 would gasp out loud after reading that, lol

[@trip3321]

This is really cool! We are planning to implement this type of arm in an underwater robot.

***** You don't have to exaggerate, but thanks! :)

[@bol8lod]

I do agree with them. you have quality content and very interesting ideas. thanks for sharing it with the world

[@samschmit7181]

"Snake arm?" Don't let's be silly, Kris! Snakes don't have arms.

[@MarinusMakesStuff]

I really love how you just do a project as an experiment to see how it works. This is how I work and think. We can think how something works, but you only learn from it when doing, not from reading about it. This is a big problem in current society, some types of knowledge are overrated when it comes from books. There is a lot we can learn from reading, but some things just cannot be learned in that way. Always stay extracurricular! ;)

[@KrisTemmermanNP]

Yes, you're right. Thanks!

[@adrianaalejotrujillo2606]

Make a tail, Ive been looking for a way to make a tail and this perfect

[@UncoveredTruths]

man, i love your videos. when i finish my degree come do projects with me alright?

[@KrisTemmermanNP]

The Forgotten Lies Yea, we will do that :) Thanks!

[@clusternova6278]

Nice, now make 4! with metal Parts, at the end 4 motors and metal wire. Just a backpack, and now you're on the road to become wolrds first super villain

[@felixdietzCGN]

switch&lever brought me here, i really like it! subscribed :-) nice robot arm, I'd love to see more experiments with this!

[@mrMacGoover]

You could use it to make a giant robotic meter worm, like the way a inch worm walks... Only bigger.

[@gigicaly]

well you get an A for effort :)

[@daleanderson1727]

Incredible. Thank you so much for sharing it!

[@djaaron23]

What if you added say 10 joints and then added a servo system to pull or wind up each joint and then controlled it via a Raspberry pi or equivalent, You could potentially have a very realistic snake or elephant trunk...

[@cilouthe-fae9595]

it's very informative and very interesting!!!!! thank you!

[@baptistebl8821]

Hello, I'm trying to do the same exact experiment at home, but I can't figure out what you used to create the middle, the "axis" of the arm, Is that a plastic tube or a plain piece ? Anyway thanks that's a great video 👍

[@FerretOverlord]

Could you possibly tell me what machine you were using to position the vertebrae for drilling at 1:02? Was it just being done by hand with some sort of template? It seemed automated.

[@Tatanya0]

Engineer, shiny gold brain in your had ❕️❣️🙋‍♀️🌞🇮🇱

[@UncoveredTruths]

why not make a doctor octopus (spiderman) / kaneki (tokyo-ghoul) sort of thing with it?

[@KrisTemmermanNP]

The Forgotten Lies Too much to do too little time. Maybe ill pick it back up later :)

[@kenheitmueller69]

What make and model is your mill? I like that it can be both manual and CNC.

[@Phantoms5683]

What was the diameter for the nylon rod you used for the middle?

[@jvanasselberg]

Thank you, YOUR video just solved a design problem I had.

[@KrisTemmermanNP]

You're welcome, I'm glad it helped :)

[@_.ah7]

What did you use for backbone exactly?

[@apemcorporation6117]

A very informative video for future projects

[@Dragon-Slay3r]

Mario middle? Snake arm, right arm

[@solovasun]

Hello, Kris! I am really impressed by your channel! Could you please tell me: what music do you use in this video?

[@KrisTemmermanNP]

Андрей Соловьёв Thanks! ha, forgot to put it in the description: Alexander Borodin - String Quartet No. 2 in D Major - II. Scherzo Allegro You can find it here: musopen.org/music/1591/alexander-borodin/string-quartet-no-2-in-d/

[@keyurpatel6042]

I want to know more about passing of thread from holes. this holes are in symmetric axis for one thread or its like step by step ?????????

[@robodev6033]

Great job! I would like to do it also I have some idea that about the positioning system on the continuum robot on formula sqrt( (X2-X1)^2 + (Y2- Y1)^2 +(Z2-Z1)^2 ) > T but need to think about the feed back modeling control hard one I haven't tried yet.core.ac.uk/download/pdf/286575812.pdf

[@haruruben]

Hydraulic “muscle” robots are the way to go. “Soft” robots will be necessary for working/playing side by side with humans

[@huamax3825]

fot this two segments' continuum robot, the disal segment's actuation will also affect the equilibrium shape of the proximal segment, then some actuation compensation for the proximal section is needed. so if there's any remedy for this problem?

[@valeforedark]

Hi. Just wondering if this is still active.there is a cosplay project I think this would be amazing for. Is there a specific name for this set up for animatronic ?

[@dddeath4565]

+Kris_Temmerman you put a lot of holes in that robot arm, would it work to have some of the wires go to the 1/3 mark, some to the 2/3 mark, and some to the end so that you could have force applied to specific parts of the arm? would this make it more controlable/flexable? please tell me what you think!

[@BHARGAV_GAJJAR]

I am hiring people who can build robotic elephant trunks

[@TBoySpace]

Hello, please I need your help, I need to get some information from you.. Im doing my degree project in this kind of robot arm , and I just need your advices , please how can I contact you ??

[@tastyswushFORYOU]

Can anyone tell me what the yellow band is called? I tried to Google elastic band but they all don't look like this one.

[@evgenks]

Hi Kris! Please, try to twist the thread like a worm gear by motor, I wonder what will happen, I want to try it for a long time, but still, I can’t implement this idea)

[@tysk5729]

could you attatch 2 more snake arms to it shaping it like an F ? would they also be able to be controlled

[@RoyceBarber]

I love that pneumatic robot arm, "elephant nose". Yet I'm highly saddened so few people have made these, and that you didn't go any further than this..????

[@cptechno]

I had that same idea! But my idea was to make it small and to put small 3 or more electro-magnets on each disks at 120 degrees. Magnets can be controlled by electronics and computers and so complex movements can be programmed. I was even thinking of making the electro-magnets myself. It would coiled elctro-magnets with a rail to the next electro-magnet. Another point if you want to make this is that the magnets at the bottom should be more powerful than magnets at the tip. The power and size of the magnets should increase gradually. Perhaps a calculation for the size of the magnets can be made based on the mass that it must support.

[@dddeath4565]

I had an idea, he put many hols in is arm so what if he had some of the wires going to 1/3, some to 2/3 and some to the end, this could allow for you to choose where a force is applied.

[@adwait_natu]

Colbert Philippe Hey, it seems interesting! I wanna know more about your idea, can you please explain?? please try to mail at [e-mail] I was thinking of the same like using electromagnets, but couldn't figure out how they can be used!! please help! thanx in advance 😀☺

[@Bleepbleepblorbus]

Or use pulleys on motors

[@ramonhamm3885]

Why drill so many holes around the disc and only use up to 3?

[@TrasteIAm]

You can always put it in your lederhosen and see if you get any attention from the ladies?

[@KarpagamKarthikeyan-l9v]

Please try it in a belt

[@freelancergin]

All of your projects are really cool, I have some robotics projects of my own, would you be willing to help me on some?

[@cbrucesbiz]

feel sure I seen some animation creatures controlled a bit like this.

[@ianbuilder]

you earned yourself a sub!

[@535Pimpdoubt]

This is extremely similar to how you adjust the side mirrors on my 1978 Ford

[@adwait_natu]

Wow! this is cool! thanx, it is going to help me out with my upcoming projects! Thank you so much!

[@TheMadManPlace]

Another nice one - thanks. Quick question : What in the world goes on in your mind that you can come up with all these interesting concepts? ;>}

[@BULLIT-ol7ly]

Hi, I’m an engineering student making something similar, do you remember what the dimensions are for the parts?

[@pradeepchaudhary5996]

i am also an engineer. what were you building? i am interested have you built it now?

[@922bibo]

another great video by you kris.. is this project inspired by the festo bionic arm?

[@KrisTemmermanNP]

Bara Abu Shaqra Thanks! No not really. I saw some medical robot arm somewhere and I wanted to find out how they worked.

[@anjumxervise7817]

Are you Dutch speaking ?

RAJKMUAR.

[@zeya211]

i have a question, what is the material you use on the center of the snake arm to give structure?

[@KrisTemmermanNP]

Its a nylon rod (but its a little bit to stiff)

[@dddeath4565]

would a silicone mould with a thin nylon rod in the center work better? also, what do you think of the idea in main comments that I posted?

[@hotdog8538]

THANKS A LOT!!!

[@athulmohan7305]

What is central rod my bro??

[@dddeath4565]

he says it is a nylon rod, but i would use a silicone rod made from a mold, maybe with a really thin nylon rod placed in center to give it just a bit of hold, but not too much that it isn't flexable.

[@sossiserano2707]

very good

[@maleehadurrani508]

which sheet have you used? for the circles

[@KrisTemmermanNP]

it's nylon. :)

[@maleehadurrani508]

thank you Chris....can I get this at hardware shop? or where else should I check

[@rltech8327]

Nice Structure

[@fleaniswerkhardt4647]

Great stuff! Only thing that is not clear is what holds each disc in place on the (slippery?) nylon rod?

[@KrisTemmermanNP]

thanks, It was just a friction fit, did work reasonably well. You can always "weld" them together. But if i would do it again, I wouldn't use the nylon center rod, It was a little bit to stiff :)

[@RoadHater]

@@KrisTemmermanNP what material do you think would work better?

[@VeganRashad]

Bruh it's time for a China laser. $2K

[@CrazyLogic]

This is pretty awesome - whats the rod in the middle made from? I have an idea for an improvement i would like to try myself.

[@KrisTemmermanNP]

Crazy-Logic Thanks, Its made from nylon. But if I was to do it again. I would search for something more flexible. Even use some kind of hinges.

[@MATHEWALEXANDER-if9cy]

Hinges for what? And how did you fasten the end of the rod to the fixture?

[@nathanielharms9931]

Yes that was a very basic test in Tinsel movement

[@nozma6615]

i am crying change music and hi i am a criss

[@28weeks2die]

What materials did you use?
