The invention concerns a fluidically operable manipulator made up of several manipulator segments stacked along an extension curve, each comprising at least one connecting plate and at least two fluidically separated fluid chambers spaced apart on the connecting plate at right-angles to the extension curve, wherein each of the fluid chambers has at least one elastically deformable wall section which is designed to make possible, on pressurization of the respective fluid chamber with a fluid, a change in volume of the fluid chamber for a linear movement substantially parallel to the extension curve, and wherein a main extension surface of the connecting plate is provided for an arrangement at least substantially at right-angles to the extension curve, wherein the two or more fluid chambers are made integral with the connecting plate or plates.
