Continuum robots, known for their compliance in unstructured environments, face limitations due to the lack of rotational degrees of freedom (DOFs) about the backbone. This prevents them from compensating undesired torsional deformation and performing 6-DOF control of the end-effector, thereby restr
Load-bearing walking is an important requirement for defense and military, logistics and transportation. In this letter, a novel quasi-passive non-anthropomorphic lower limb exoskeleton is proposed to augment human load-bearing capacities. The exoskeleton employs a rigid leg rod that transmits loads
As a traditional movement assist equipment for people with lower-limb dysfunction, the wheelchair can support and carry users to perform a long-distance movement indoor and outdoor, however, prolonged inactivity can lead to muscle atrophy and deteriorate motion functions. As a promising solution, th…
In industrial production, current pipe-climbing robots can replace humans in real-time monitoring, leak inspection, and other tasks. However, most pipe-climbing robots are designed for specific applications with complex structures; this limits the adaptability to various conditions. To solve this is
Precise actuation of continuum surfaces in combination with continuum robotic arms that undergo large deformation is of high interest in soft robotics but of limited model-based study to date. This work develops this area towards enabling the robust design and control of large deformation continuum
