Finding the shape of a continuum robot is a challenging task, especially in a constrained
environment where external sensors like cameras are unable to provide sufficient …

In this paper, forward/inverse dynamics of a continuum robotic arm is developed using a
data-driven approach, which could tackle uncertainties and extreme nonlinearities to obtain …

Dynamics modeling of continuum robotic arms is of great importance due to the highly
nonlinear characteristics, uncertain and complex structure, and the inherent underactuation …

Continuum manipulators are considered as systems with high intrinsic complexities,
nonlinearities and uncertainties, which encounter several problems in accurate modelling …

Due to the nonlinearity of the continuum manipulators and the absence of direct relation
between the actuator space and task space, shape configuration cannot be achieved by …

In this paper, we propose an online adaptive tracking control strategy for continuum robots
by using integral reinforcement learning (IRL). Based on the assumption of piecewise …

Continuum manipulator is a new type of biomimetic manipulator. This type of manipulator
has broad application prospects in many fields. This paper studies the tracking control …

The study aims to control a robotic manipulator to achieve the trajectory-tracking of its end-
effector. To the objective, a decentralized fuzzy control scheme is proposed. The desired …

Manipulators are providing increasing convenience to human society due to their
advantages in loading and endurance. However, vibration restricts their further application …

Automatic equipment plays an increasingly important role in human daily life, for which can
free human beings from tedious and repetitive tasks, can improve effectiveness and can …
