Abstract - This paper introduces new analyses and algorithms which are essential for the practical implementation of continuous backbone continuum robots. Actuator length limits st...
—We present a new geometrical approach to solving inverse kinematics for continuous backbone (continuum) robot manipulators. First, this paper presents a solution to the inverse ...

– We introduce a new method for synthesizing kinematics and Jacobian relationships for an important class of continuous backbone “continuum” robots. The resulting Jacobians e...
Continuum robots, which are composed of multiple concentric, precurved elastic tubes, can provide dexterity at diameters equivalent to standard surgical needles. Recent mechanicsba...

— We present here a real time active vision system on a PTZ network camera to track an object of interest. We address two critical issues in this paper. One is the control of the...
