Robotics has aroused huge attention since the 1950s. Irrespective of the uniqueness that
industrial applications exhibit, conventional rigid robots have displayed noticeable …

Soft robotics has attracted great attention because of its potential to overcome safety issues
and produce a more harmonious cooperative environment for human beings and robots …

In most environments, solar panels need some cleaning system for dust removal. Recently,
robotic cleaning systems have been introduced and used in power plants. Typically, one …

Continuum robots have been very popular in the recent days due to their wide spread
applications in space, defence, medical, underwater, industries etc. Modelling of these types …

In existing continuum robots, not every segment within a section is controlled, limiting the full
utilization of their flexibility and making navigation through narrow and continuously curved …

This paper presents a novel hand, consisting of both rigid link and continuum mechanisms,
and the application of a newly proposed Multi-Aspect Grasp (MAG) index in Form Closure …

In the application of an unstructured environment, a continuum robot has more advantages
than a conventional robot. However, its dynamic modeling and control are more complex. In …

This study presents a novel dynamic modelling method for analyzing the modal properties of
a curved extensible continuum manipulator (ECM). Considering the variable bending angle …

The soft robotics paradigm involves constructing robots out of soft materials to improve their
safety and ability to interact with humans and delicate objects. Much research has been …

This thesis dealt with modeling and visual servoing (VS) of continuum robots (CRs) and one
of their recently introduced configurations, cooperative-CRs (CCRs). Application-wise, the …
