Experiments in determining the displacements and angular amplitudes of a hyper-redundant robot

This paper presents a series of experiments performed in order to determine the displacements and the angular amplitudes of a hyper-redundant robot. Two high-speed cameras were used to extract data related to the displacements of the robotic structure in order to obtain a control algorithm of the robot. Has been developed a parameterized model of the robot in order to observe the displacement and the rate of travel during its actuation.
