Probabilistic Motion Model Learning for Tendon Actuated Continuum Robots with Backlash
IROS 2025
In this paper, we propose a probabilistic motion model for tendon actuated continuum robots that experience actuation transmission non-linearities due to cable slack and cable-sheath friction. The model is based on a Lie group formulation of the robot’s end-effector pose that incorporates a new simp
