Abstract
An axial support structure for a flexible elongate device includes a plurality of rigid links coupled by pin joints. Each of the plurality of rigid links comprises a shaft, a pair of male joint connectors extending axially from a first end of the shaft, and a pair of female joint connectors extending axially from a second end of the shaft opposite the first end. The female joint connectors are complementary to the male joint connectors and are rotated by 90 degrees relative to the male joint connectors. Each of the plurality of rigid links is rotated by 90 degrees with respect to neighboring links among the plurality of rigid links, thereby aligning each pair of male joint connectors with a neighboring pair of female joint connectors to form the pin joints.
