Continuum and soft robots can positively impact diverse sectors, from biomedical
applications to marine and space exploration, thanks to their potential to adaptively interact …

The goal of this study was to propose and validate a control framework with level-2
autonomy (task autonomy) for the control of flexible ablation catheters. To this end, a …

Continuum robots (CRs) hold great potential for many medical and industrial applications
where compliant interaction within the potentially confined environment is required …

This paper proposes a model-free control framework for the path planning of the rigid and
soft robotic manipulator using an intelligent algorithm called Weighted Jacobian Rapidly …

To achieve precise and untethered clinical therapeutics, microrobots have been widely
researched. However, because conventional microrobot actuation is based on magnetic …

This paper suggests a novel method for the positioning control of a magnetically steerable
guidewire without needing to detect a tip angle, which can pass through sharply curved …

Telerobotic systems have attracted growing attention because of their superiority in the
dangerous or unknown interaction tasks. It is very challenging to exploit such systems to …

Recently, flexible robots are growing in importance owing to their merits over rigid robots in
maneuverability and safety, which equips them to work in unstructured environments, such …

Continuum manipulators are a class of special compliant robots that have important
potential applications in the field of human-machine interactive operations, or work in …

Continuum robots offer compliant and dexterous operations, which are suitable to be used in
unstructured environments. Tendon-driven catheters, owing to their continuum structure, are …
