Continuum robotics has rapidly become a rich and diverse area of research, with many
designs and applications demonstrated. Despite this diversity in form and purpose, there …

In this paper, we describe the state of the art in continuum robot manipulators and systems
intended for application to interventional medicine. Inspired by biological trunks, tentacles …

In this work we describe an autonomous soft-bodied robot that is both self-contained and
capable of rapid, continuum-body motion. We detail the design, modeling, fabrication, and …

This paper presents a robotic manipulation system capable of autonomously positioning a
multi-segment soft fluidic elastomer robot in three dimensions. Specifically, we present an …

The goal of this work is to develop a soft-robotic manipulation system that is capable of
autonomous, dynamic, and safe interactions with humans and its environment. First, we …

In this paper we describe the design, fabrication, control, and experimental validation of a
soft and highly compliant 2D manipulator. The arm consists of several body segments …

Soft continuum manipulators have the advantage of being more compliant and having more
degrees of freedom than rigid redundant manipulators. This attribute should allow soft …

This paper introduces a method for computing the shape of a continuously-flexible
(continuum) robot in 3-D space which includes gravity loading by applying Cosserat rod …

This paper proposed a novel tree climbing robot" Treebot" that has high maneuverability on
an irregular tree environment and surpasses the state of the art tree climbing robots …
