Soft continuum robots possess inherent compliance and ensure safe interactions. Whilst advantageous, their high degrees of freedom pose significant challenges for estimating the robot's configuration and sensing external contacts. Existing analytical methods rely on finite state-representations that
Proprioceptive sensing plays a crucial role in robotics, enabling closed-loop control approaches that are essential for autonomous applications. In Soft Robotics, the development and integration of sensors is even more challenging due to the compliant nature of soft bodies. Moreover, underwater envi
Soft continuum manipulators are celebrated for their versatility and physical robustness to external forces and perturbations. However, this feature comes at a cost. The many degrees of freedom and compliance pose challenges for accurate pose reconstruction, both in terms of distributed sensing and…
