A geometrical approach to inverse kinematics for continuum manipulators
—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 ...

A New Approach to Jacobian Formulation for a Class of Multi-Section Continuum Robots
– We introduce a new method for synthesizing kinematics and Jacobian relationships for an important class of continuous backbone “continuum” robots. The resulting Jacobians e...

Real time tracking using an active pan-tilt-zoom network camera
— 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...
