Design and Kinematic Control of the Cable-Driven Hyper-Redundant Manipulator for Potential Underwater Applications

Underwater manipulators are important robotic tools in the exploration of the ocean environment. Up to now, most existing underwater manipulators are rigid and with fixed 5 or 7 degrees of freedom (DOF), which may not be very suitable for some complicated underwater scenarios (e.g., pipe networks, n...
