A Unified Multi-Dynamics Framework for Perception-Oriented Modeling in Tendon-Driven Continuum Robots
Ibrahim Alsarraj, Yuhao Wang, Abdalla Swikir +4
Tendon-driven continuum robots offer intrinsically safe and contact-rich interactions owing to their kinematic redundancy and structural compliance. However, their perception often…
Collaborative Continuum Robots: A Survey
Xinyu Li, Qian Tang, Guoxin Yin +4
Continuum robots (CRs), owing to their compact structure, inherent compliance, and flexible deformation, have been widely applied in various fields. By coordinating multiple CRs to…
AdapJ: An Adaptive Extended Jacobian Controller for Soft Manipulators
Zixi Chen, Xuyang Ren, Yuya Hamamatsu +3
The nonlinearity and hysteresis of soft robot motions present challenges for control. To solve these issues, the Jacobian controller has been applied to approximate the nonlinear b…
Lightweight Kinematic and Static Modeling of Cable-Driven Continuum Robots via Actuation-Space Energy Formulation
Ke Wu, Yuhao Wang, Kevin Henry +2
Continuum robots, inspired by octopus arms and elephant trunks, combine dexterity with intrinsic compliance, making them well suited for unstructured and confined environments. Yet…
