Continuum Robot Shape Estimation Using Magnetic Ball Chains
Giovanni Pittiglio, Abdulhamit Donder, Pierre E. Dupont
Shape sensing of medical continuum robots is important both for closed-loop control as well as for enabling the clinician to visualize the robot inside the body. There is a need fo…
Using Neural Networks to Model Hysteretic Kinematics in Tendon-Actuated Continuum Robots
Yuan Wang, Max McCandless, Abdulhamit Donder +4
The ability to accurately model mechanical hysteretic behavior in tendon-actuated continuum robots using deep learning approaches is a growing area of interest. In this paper, we i…
Hybrid Tendon and Ball Chain Continuum Robots for Enhanced Dexterity in Medical Interventions
Giovanni Pittiglio, Margherita Mencattelli, Abdulhamit Donder +2
A hybrid continuum robot design is introduced that combines a proximal tendon-actuated section with a distal telescoping section comprised of permanent-magnet spheres actuated usin…
