I found video from Akiyuki Brick Channel with a very interesting looking LEGO tentacle assembly. It looks like it has quite a lot of motion, and it only has four motors.
Each motor controls a stage of the machine – driving what is essentially a turntable, but with each motorised part set at 45 degrees.
Based on the combination of each rotary section, the tentacle is able to do some quite interesting motions as it reconfigures itself. There are lots of other really great builds in this channel, so you should check it out.
A similar mechanism has been used in the Rolls-Royce LiftSystem to thrust vector thrust a jet engine, and you can check that article out on Wikipedia.
I’ve built quite a few walking robots, but I really liked the way the tentacle moved, so this made me think about whether I could make robot legs that worked in a similar way, and how easy it would be to control them.

XROBOTS
Former toy designer, current YouTube maker and general robotics, electrical and mechanical engineer, I’m a fan of doing it yourself and innovation by trial and error. My channel is where I share some of my useful and not-so-useful inventions, designs and maker advice. Iron Man is my go-to cosplay, and 3D printing can solve most issues - broken bolts, missing parts, world hunger, you name it.
XRobots is the community around my content where you can get in touch, share tips and advice, and more build FAQs, schematics and designs are also available.
