Soft slender structures are ubiquitous in natural and artificial systems, in active and passive
settings and across scales, from polymers and flagella, to snakes and space tethers. In this …

To address the challenges with real-time accurate modeling of multisegment continuum
manipulators in the presence of significant external and body loads, we introduce a novel …

In this paper we introduce the first robust control for continuum robots that are modelled by
Cosserat Rod theory. Constituted from deformable elastic backbones, continuum robots are …

A reliable, accurate, and yet simple dynamic model is important to analyzing, designing, and
controlling hybrid rigid–continuum robots. Such models should be fast, as simple as …

The shortage of qualified human labor is a key challenge facing farmers, limiting profit
margins and preventing the adoption of sustainable and diversified agroecosystems, such …

Soft-bodied manipulators are new type of mechanical devices mainly made of soft materials,
which possess the characteristics of high flexibility, good adaptation in complex environment …

Soft robot has become a hot topic recently due to its distinct advantages over traditional rigid
robots such as high deformability and good impact resistance. However, the coupled …

Investigations on control and optimization of continuum manipulators have resulted in a
number of kinematic and dynamic modeling approaches each having their own advantages …

Continuum manipulators have gained significant attention in the robotic community due to
their high dexterity, deformability, and reachability. Modeling of such manipulators has been …
