Purpose This paper aims to present a kinematics analysis method and statics based control of the continuum robot with … with a few deviations, which can be used as the reference for the motion planning and dynamic model of the continuum robot.  …

/methodology/approach First, the mechanical design of a multi-section continuum robot is introduced and the forward kinematic model is built …-the-leader motion is affected by the following factors such as gravity and continuum robot design. Furthermore, the position error is … present an algorithm to generate follow-the-leader motion of the continuum robot based on DE. This method is suitable for …

prevent wire slack and improve continuum robot payload capacity, as well as to present a new method to control continuum …
