Then, modeling and control approaches are compared, and navigation strategies exclusive to continuum robots, such as follow the leader, coiling, and circumnutation are examined. Finally, an overview of their applications is provided with a focus on industrial and service tasks, outlining open ...
Continuum Robots: An Overview Thanks to their lean bodies, these robots achieve a long reach through narrow and tortuous environments, enabling currently unachievable tasks for medical, industrial, and service applications. The recent surge in research on these robots ... M Russo,SMH Sadati,X Dong...
Millimeter-scale soft continuum robots offer safety and adaptability in transluminal procedures due to their passive compliance, but this feature necessitates interactions with surrounding lumina, leading to potential medical risks and restricted mobilit
Based on the overview of AET, we introduce general reference frames that describe the configuration of the proposed system. The inertial frame is denoted as\({{{\mathcal{I}}}\), AET’s UAV body frame is denoted as\({{{\mathcal{V}}}\), and the base frame of the continuum manipulato...
Soft robots provide significant flexibility and adaptability for accomplishing tasks when compared with rigid robotics. Furthermore, this paradigm also improves safety when working around humans, enhancing the suitability of soft robotics in the fields of medicine and manufacturing [317]. The design of ...

Soft continuum robots have distal dexterity and structural compliance, which play an important role in MIS1,2. Many kinds of soft continuum robots have been designed for MIS3. At present, the control of these robots is inaccurate due to the nonlinear behaviors of the flexible manipulator, ...
MICSOLVER Multi-solution solver for the inverse kinematics of 3-section constant-curvature robots.[NOS, NOI] = MICSOLVER(L1, L2, L3, Q, R, TOL, IS_A_SOL) returns the result of solving the 3-section inverse kinematics problem. The function uses preset resolutions or numerical methods to ...

However, force-sensing technology is one of the major limitations in the development of surgical robots, because in master-slave surgical robotic systems that lack force feedback, the operator can rely on only visual feedback, such as the deformation of tissue under load to estimate the contact...
