Magnetic continuum robots (MCR) have shown great potential in minimally invasive interventions because they can be actively and remotely navigated through complex in vivo environments. However, the deformation capability of current MCRs is limited by fixed magnetization congurations, preventing them…
Magnetically-actuated flexible endoscopes (MAFE) have been well used in minimally-invasive surgery because they can be steered by a magnetic field thus more flexible than traditional endoscopes. Model-free and uncalibrated visual-feedback control makes it possible to manipulate MAFE with a magnetic…
Magnetic soft robots have attracted widespread attention for their untethered, remotely operated, and compliant deformation characteristics. Earlier work has demonstrated magnetic origami robots' diverse locomotion capabilities. This letter will focus on the motion generation and open-loop control o
Magnetically-actuated robotic catheter (MARC) has shown great potential in minimally-invasive surgery because they can be steered remotely and wirelessly. However, when driven by external permanent magnets (EPM), the MARC is subject to nonlinearly-coupled gravitational, magnetic, and elastic forces,
