CA 2110232

A tentacle-like manipulator has a resilient laterally bendable elongate member having a proximal end and a distal end, the elongate member being inflatable and being longitudinally extensible and contractible in response to pressure variations within the elongate member. Flexible tension members spaced around the elongate member extend along the elongate member from the proximal end and one end of each of the tension members is secured to the elongate member at a distance from the proximal end. Guides spaced apart along and secured to the elongate member slidably engage the tension members for guiding the tension members relative to the elongate member and tensioning device adjustably tensions the tension members by different amounts, and thereby bending the elongate member.
