Flexible robotsThis paper tries to analyze the inverse kinematics problem of the inextensible continuum robot from a new perspective. In the analysis, the generatrix of the robot's workspace is studied and replaced by the Kepler oval. Then the complicated inverse kinematics problem of the multi-...

KinematicsIntervalsIn this paper, we examine the properties of tentacle-like continuum robots wherein the lengths of the bending segments can be adjusted. The ability to vary section lengths would allow continuum robots to assume a significantly wider range of configurations than in existing designs,...

Soft continuum robots and manipulators are elongated structures that employ several actuators to move and articulate their bodies. The dexterity of these mechanisms is directly related to the number of actuators they employ; a larger number of actuators increase dexterity. However, increasing the number...
