Toward parallel continuum manipulators

Abstract: In this paper, we investigate continuum manipulators that are analogous to conventional rigid-link parallel robot designs. These "parallel continuum manipulators" have the potential to inherit some of the compactness and compliance of continuum robots while retaining some of the precision, stability, and strength of rigid-link parallel robots, yet they represent a relatively unexplored area of the broad manipulator design space. We describe the construction of a prototype manipulator structure with six complia… Show more

“…In this section, we propose a Cosserat rod model to predict the deformation of the continuum arm composed of asymmetric building blocks. The Cosserat rod model is ideal for continuum manipulators because they are long, slender and deform as a continuum [32] [8] [33] [34]. However, there are challenges in applying the Cosserat model for asymmetric building block architecture, which are elucidated in this section.…”

“…Due to this need for distal dexterity, parallel continuum robots 149 have been proposed for use in transanal endocolonic surgery. These robots can provide 6-DoF dexterous manipulation in a single continuum segment, making them a potential candidate for the narrow, constrained workspace of the colon.…”

“…Thus nowadays the use of fl ex manipulators is problematic, and therefore it is necessary to fi nd a design without the above disadvantages. In [5,6,7,8], a description of various variants of the structures of fl exible manipulators for collection of fruitswere given. On the basis of experimental data, it is determined that the use of such facilities is promising.…”
