Herein, recent advances, current limitations, and open challenges in the design, modeling,
and control of continuum robots are discussed. Thanks to their lean bodies, these robots …

The traditional propeller-based propulsion of underwater robots is inefficient and poorly
adapted to practice. By contrast, underwater biomimetic robots show better stability and …

Biohybrid robots retain the innate biological characteristics and behavioral traits of animals,
making them valuable in applications such as disaster relief, exploration of unknown …

This study presents the design and evaluation of a prototype snake-like robot that possesses
an actuation system based on shape memory alloys (SMAs). The device is constructed …

Continuum robots have often been compared with rigid-link designs through conventional
performance metrics (eg, precision and Jacobian-based indicators). However, these metrics …
