Variable geometry truss systems have many advantages
for practical hyper-redundant manipulator implementation.
VGTs were originally studied in the context of large spacestructures, such as precision segmented mirrors. More
recently, variable geometry truss manipulators (VGTMs) have
been proposed and investigated. Traditional VGTs and
VGTMs can be differentiated by their actuation requirements.

For large space structures, the primary role of the
actuators and control system is to control structural
resonances. Thus, these systems have actuators with high
bandwidth and very little stroke. Conversely, VGTs for
robotics applications require actuators with substantial stroke
to effect significant changes in the structure geometry. I have
chosen VGT geometry for the system because of its inherent
mechanical advantage, which is required for several of the
experiments in hyper-redundant grasping. (e.g. [3])
