Abstract: Continuum robots have excited increasing attention and efforts from the robotic community due to their high dexterity and safety. This paper proposes a design for a type of multimodule continuum robot equipped with an ...

Abstract: Mechanical components in a robotic system were used to provide body structure and mechanism to achieve physical motions following the commands from electronic controller. This kind of robotic system utilizes complex hardware ...

Abstract: As an important branch of reconfigurable robots, extensible continuum robots are soft and light, with the flexibility of movement and high adaptability in complex environments. These robots have very broad applications in ...

Abstract: Octopuses are an example of dexterous animals found in nature. Their arms are flexible, can vary in stiffness, grasp objects, apply high forces with respect to their relatively light weight, and bend in all directions. ...
