Tendon actuation is one of the most prominent actuation principles for continuum robots. To
date, a wide variety of modelling approaches has been derived to describe the deformations …

Accurate prediction of shape and contact forces significantly improves the performance of a
continuum robot during its operation in obstacle-laden environments. This paper presents …

A displacement and rotation‐based dynamic finite element formulation for Cosserat plates is
discussed in detail in this paper. Special attention is given to the validation of the element …

In view of the demand for flexible drive and large load of the soft robot in the practical
application, a novel type of flexible-actuated multi-degree-of-freedom (multi-DOF) parallel …

Grasping objects by continuum arms or fingers is a new field of interest in robotics.
Continuum manipulators have the advantages of high adaptation and compatibility with …

Learning to rank has considered as a promising approach for ranking in information
retrieval. In recent years feature selection for learning to rank introduced as a crucial issue …

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 …

The advent of transesophageal ultrasound robots has provided a new idea to simplify
relevant clinical procedures. However, the existing add-on robots often lack the ability to …

Effective dynamics modeling and control of continuum robots have been a challenge for
almost a couple of decades. The most important modeling challenge is to provide a model …

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 …
