Open Source Snake Style Robotic Arm
Contents
Basics
- What could be called a "snake", or "Spine" robotic arm
- Resembles one of "Dr. Octopus" 's four robotic arms
- Uses hydraulic power in tubes, with no motors
- Uses the rigidity (and varyations of it of 4 tubes caused by the hydraulic pressure to move the arm
Used For

Controller
- See the Open Source Robotic Arm Controller
Movable Base
- Needs to only move in one direction, either foreward/backward or up/down depending on device orientation
Vertebrae
- A CNC Milled, or 3D Printed Metal "Disk" with holes for the hydraulic/pnumatic tubes, or mchanically tensioned cables, and the wires for the end effector etc.
- Many are used for the overall robotic arm
Tendon/Muscle
- Uses either hydraulic, pnuematic, or mechanical (via cable or wires) to bend the segments
- At least 3 Per Arm (in a triangle)
