The paper treats the control problem of a class of hyper-redundant robots with continuum elements with sensors placed on the terminal points of the arm segments. The dynamic model of the arm is presented. The measuring system is based on the sensors placed at the several sub-regions of the arm. A full state control is introduced and an observer is proposed in order to reconstruct the state. A control algorithm is generated by the back-stepping method.
Bioinspired solution can support significant improvements across various fields of robotics, offering solutions to basic problems such as locomotion and manipulation in unstructured environments. This paper deals with the problem of using a bioinspired solution in building a hyper-redundant robotic arm. In the recent period, were developed an important number of application using like an octopus or like snake or like a trunk of elephant solutions for robotic arms. Such kind of projects must solve difficult problems on the way from design to implementation. The problems are mainly linked with the actuation solution, with the control of the structure, with sensors to close the control loop, technology for the implementation. In this paper we focus on the process of modelling, simulating, and designing of hyper-redundant robotic arm
