ABSTRACT:
A manipulator arm consisting of a plurality of annuli joined together by lengths of tubing having circumferential corrugations, two longitudinal webs extending the length of the manipulator arm and diametrically spaced with respect to the annuli, the webs being adapted to be flexible in a first plane but stiff in a second plane at right angles to the second plane, and so positioned that the first planes of the webs are coincident thereby to render the manipulator arm flexible in the first plane but stiff in the second plane, and means for causing the manipulator arm to flex in the first plane.
