Irregular linear pattern

Hello! I want to make a mechanical manipulator by SpiBot (https://www.cell.com/device/pdfExtended/S2666-9986(24)00603-3).
I have no issue creating a single segment, however, I struggle to come up with good way to shrink them along the axis, as on the drawing.
Would love to hear any ideas on how to linearly change scale of segments (both on sketch units and bodies would do).

See the second video here for an explanation how to do this:

Here are a couple of more "in depth" videos on the subject, I think "part 1" should cover what you are looking for but there is also a "part 2" with more "tricks".
