Single-Fiber Optical Frequency Domain Reflectometry (Ofdr) Shape Sensing of Continuum Manipulators With Planar Bending

To address the challenges associated with shape sensing of continuum manipulators (CMs) using Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) optical fibers, we present a unique shape sensing assembly utilizing solely a single Optical Frequency Domain Reflectometry (OFDR) fiber attached to a flat nitinol wire (NiTi). Int
