Visually the TARS/CASE/KIPP design is quite a long way from this – the “bush robot” Hans Moravec proposed in his bonkers 1988 “Mind Children” – but if we allow for continuing fractal decomposition of the manipulators as we move distally, conceptually it’s not a million miles away. Here’s a 1999 paper on “fractal branching ultra-dexterous robots” Moravec submitted to NASA’s Advanced Concepts Research Projects division.https://web.archive.org/web/20161220070307/https://www.frc.ri.cmu.edu/~hpm/project.archive/robot.papers/1999/NASA.report.99/9901.NASA.html
