Abstract

This paper describes the results of field trials and associated testing of the OctArm series of multi-section continuous backbone "continuum" robots. This novel series of manipulators has recently (Spring 2005) undergone a series of trials including open-air and in-water field tests. Outcomes of the trials, in which the manipulators demonstrated the ability for adaptive and novel manipulation in challenging environments, are described. Implications for the deployment of continuum robots in a variety of applications are discussed.
