Soft robots' flexibility and compliance give them the potential to outperform traditional rigid-
bodied robots while performing multiple tasks in unexpectedly changing environments and …

Background Recent advancements in continuum robotics have accentuated developing
efficient and stable controllers to handle shape deformation and compliance. The control of …

In this letter, we propose a novel approach to automatically control the 3D shape of
deformable wires using robots. Our approach proposes a novel visual feature along with a …

Anytime a robot manipulator is controlled via visual feedback, the transformation between
the robot and camera frame must be known. However, in the case where cameras can only …

Soft continuum arms (SCAs) that are controlled by visual servoing (VS) present trade-offs
between the camera range and tracking accuracy. Cameras placed at a distance (eye-to …

In this paper, a full-kinematic model and a visual-servo control system for recently introduced
cooperative continuum robots (CCRs) are proposed. The focus will be on operative …

Growing continuum robots offer improved safety and navigation in confined spaces, due to
their inherent compliance and ability to conform to highly curved paths. Navigation of these …

Soft robots show compliance and have infinite degrees of freedom. Thanks to these
properties, such robots can be leveraged for surgery, rehabilitation, biomimetics …

Purpose With the rapid development of the 3C industry, the problem of automated operation
of 3C wire is becoming increasingly prominent. However, the 3C wire has high flexibility …

This paper develops accelerated model-free robust adaptive control algorithms for unknown
static maps which correspond to forward kinematics in robotics. The technique is based on …
