Abstract:

The direction of the flexible robot body controllable feeding has been a problem. Such as the traditional industrial endoscope applications, it is only the head can be active deflection. If the endoscope want to feed into the deep and complex structure of the unknown cavity, it is necessary to give the outside pipeline route guidance, otherwise flexible body of the endoscope is difficult to active changing direction in accordance with the environments. In this paper, a mechanical system is studied to help flexible body enable to active steering and improving initiative and flexibility in an unknown space.
