Kinetostatic Modeling of Retractable and Prismatic Spring Body for Continuum Climbing Robots in Discontinuous Terrains

There are few studies on the mechanics of the retractable backbone for continuum climbing robots, especially the non-circular cross-section. The retractable non-circular structure endows the robot with more compact structure, adjustability in initial stiffness, and dexterous mobility in narrow space
