Abstract
A mechanical arm assembly is generally presented. The mechanical arm assembly comprises a plurality of joints including a first joint, one or more intermediate joints, and a terminal joint connected in consecutive series and each configured to rotate with respect to any respective adjacent joints. The first, intermediate, and terminal joints are configured with their base and top arranged at a given angle with respect to the normal plane of the joint, such as parallel to the normal plane or 22.5 degrees with respect to the normal plane. Rotation of the joints is controlled by control wires. The control wires may be routed internally through the joints or externally outside of the joints.
