This paper deals with an original combination of navigation by simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) and follow-the-leader (FTL) deployment for the control of concentric tube robots (CTRs). The objective is to make possible the automatic navigation of such continuum robots within an anatomica
This letter deals with the development of a vision-based controller for a continuum robot architecture. More precisely, the controlled robotic structure is based on three-tube concentric tube robot (CTR), an emerging paradigm to design accurate, miniaturized, and flexible endoscopic robots. This app
Estimation of 3D object position is a crucial step for a variety of robotics and computer vision applications including 3D reconstruction and object manipulation. When working in microscale, new types of visual sensors are used such as Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). Nowadays, micro- and nanoman…
Microassembly represents a very promising solution to microproducts and complex Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) fabrication. Since, in the case of teleoperated assembly, an operator is the main source of errors, there is a great interest in microassembly automation. Its main issue consists i…
