A manipulator includes first and second link arms which are connected together by a hinge. A cable actuation and tensioning system is provided between the link arms and includes a spreader arm, a driven element attached to each link arm and a cable engaged with the respective driven element and attached to the spreader arm. At least one of the arms, or all of the arms, can telescope to shorten or lengthen the arm(s) by movement of the system. The spreader arm may also be configured to slide relative to the first and second link arms to change the position of the spreader arm relative to the first and second link arms.
