Snake arm robots
Abstract
Bringing a new robot to market is an exciting venture. When that robot is a new type of robot the venture takes on new proportions – it becomes an adventure. Dr Rob Buckingham, managing director of OCRobotics Ltd, describes the principles of a new snake arm robot that has applications in a number of industries including aerospace (engines and airframes), nuclear, space and surgery as well as a whole range of general inspection and maintenance tasks.
