This paper introduces a novel continuum-style robot that integrates multiple layers of compliant modules. Its essential features lie in that its bending is not based on natural compliance of a continuous backbone element or soft skeletal elements but instead is based on the compliance of each structured planar module. This structure provides several important advantages. First, it demonstrates a large...
This paper presents a recent study on kinematic modeling of a remote-controlled active catheter. The tip steering motion of the catheter is actuated in a tendon-driven manner. Two antagonistic groups of tendon actuation realize the distal tip deflecting with two-degree-of-freedom (2-DOF) allowing it to reach a considerable large spatial workspace without catheter shaft rotation. However, when modeling...
