Continuum robots always exhibit strong adaptability for exploring unstructured environments and high safety for achieving human-machine interactions. To further enhance their agility, it is imperative that these robots integrate both bending and elongation motion patterns. However, employing a unifi
Soft robots exhibit promising dexterity and adaptability for manipulation because of their high compliance. However, the existing soft robots with invariant stiffness hardly interact with cluttered environments with varying curvatures. In this study, inspired by the maneuverability of an elephant tr
Cable-driven continuum robots exhibit accessing and manipulation capabilities in constrained and cluttered environments that are unachievable for traditional robots composing of discrete links and joints. However, the existing continuum robots structured by non-scalable backbones are monofunctional,
