Minimally actuated (overly-redundant) serial robot with a movable motor

In this video we present our recent work on a minimalistic (overly-redundant) serial robot which has passive joints that can be actuated by a movable motor. This is an automatic version with relies on a simple planning algorithm. The minimalistic approach in this serial robot allows to reduce the number of motors, electronics and wiring, to reduce the weight and minimize costs. The robot can be used for search and rescue, agricultural, space, maintenance, cleaning, and other applications. The robot was de
