Re: Building fully flexible tail (several joints) with minimal actuation required
I believe what I'm attaching is an illustration of the idea Al first mentioned, though using rotary rather than linear actuation. There are other methods of course, for implementing both linear and rotary actuation, including employing a simple cam.
It produces motion in a single plane and can curve to both the left and right -- though not both simultaneously.
