Arm-Z Modular Manipulator

stage

1

Arm-Z is a conceptual manipulator composed of congruent modules each having one degree of freedom (1-DOF) – a relative twist. Simple changes of these twists result in emerging behavior of the entire Arm-Z allowing it to perform complex movements.

Use the slider to get the tip of Arm-Z through the hole without touching the box. Green and red indicate the twists in the next time-step to: the right and left, respectively.
