Biological systems are a great source of inspiration for roboticists. Tensegrity systems, composed of rigidand tensile elements, are particularly suitable for bio-inspiration since these systems are found directly in various biological systems. In this thesis, we study a manipulator inspired by the neck of birds. This manipulator is a stack of modules that each have one degree of freedom. Each module is a tensegrity mechanism composed of four bars and two springs. The manipulator is operated by cables, so all the motors are located at its base. The geometric model and the dynamic model of the manipulator are developed, then an analysis of the actuation and the static workspace of the manipulator is conducted. An actuation with four cables i...
