“…Various methods that explore analytical modeling approaches for non-rigid objects in robotic environments are inspired by physics-based models, extensively studied in computer graphics (Nealen et al, 2006 ). These include continuous mesh models such as Euler-Bernoulli (EB) (Fugl et al, 2012 ), linear Finite Element Method (FEM) (Lang et al, 2002 ; Frank et al, 2014 ; Jia et al, 2014 ; Petit et al, 2015 ; Duenser et al, 2018 ) and non-linear FEM (Leizea et al, 2017 ; Sengupta et al, 2020 ). Also, discrete mesh models such as linear Mass-Spring Systems (MSS) (Leizea et al, 2014 ) and non-linear MSS (Zaidi et al, 2017 ) are considered.…”
