Ideally, a continuum robot is characterized by many degrees of freedom (DOFs) and the number of joints, more than needed for most tasks. These characteristics allow them to adjust and modify their ...

Continuum robots have great flexibility which allows them to avoid obstacles. However, they form complex shapes during movement, which is difficult to track. Existing studies addressing this issue ...

With the completion and opening of projects such as the China-Laos Railway and the Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Railway in ...

How to design and control robots with stretchy, flexible bodies Optimizing soft robots to perform specific tasks is a huge computational problem, but a new model can help Date: November 21, 2019 ...

You might call it “zoobotics.” Jessica Burgner-Kahrs, the director of the Continuum Robotics Lab at the University of Toronto Mississauga, and her team are building very slender, flexible and ...

Overview of the optical fiber-based sub-millimeter continuum robot with imaging, maneuvering, and medical operation capabilities. Credit: Nature Communications (2024). DOI: 10.1038/s41467-024-55199-6 ...

A robot called the Longitudinally Extensible Continuum-robot inspired by Hirudinea (LEeCH) can elongate and bend its body to climb walls, just like a leech. It is made from a shower hose with two ...
