Chameleon-like shooting manipulator for accurate 10-meter reaching

In this paper, we propose a shooting manipulator for accurate 10-meter reaching. The shooting manipulator mechanistically acts on a remote target by constraining an end-effector catapulted by an instantaneous force. The characteristic of the proposed shooting manipulator is to have a passive propeller at the tip of the end-effector which suppresses the disturbance of the external force acting on the end-effector due to air resistance. Owing to this passive propeller, we can achieve that the standard deviation of the positioning error is smaller than 5[cm], i.e., less than 0.5 percent for a reaching distance of 10[m].
