Modeling Kinematic Uncertainty of Tendon-Driven Continuum Robots via Mixture Density Networks
Jordan Thompson, Brian Y. Cho, Daniel S. Brown +1
Tendon-driven continuum robot kinematic models are frequently computationally expensive, inaccurate due to unmodeled effects, or both. In particular, unmodeled effects produce unce…
