Abstract

Robotic cooperative tasks impose, in many cases, a grasping action. Grasping by coiling it is one of the most versatile action. The present article propose a frequency stability criterion based on the Kahman – Yakubovich – Popov Lemma for the hyper-redundant arms with continuum element that performs the grasping function by coiling. Dynamics of the biomimetical robot during non-contact and contact operations, for the position control, is studied. An extension of the Popov criterion is developed. The P control algorithms based on SMA snake-type robot actuators are introduced. Numerical simulations and experimental results of the snake type robot motion toward an imposed target are presented.
