Continuum robots have been utilized for several light-duty applications, such as minimally invasive surgery in the medical field and inspection in the industry. However, the existing design solutions do not off... Read More about A Universal Stiffening Sleeve Designed for All Types of Continuum Robot Systems.

In-situ repair/maintenance with a continuum robotic machine tool in confined space (2019)
Journal Article
Dong, X., Palmer, D., Axinte, D., & Kell, J. (2019). In-situ repair/maintenance with a continuum robotic machine tool in confined space. Journal of Manufacturing Processes, 38, 313-318. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jmapro.2019.01.024

In-situ repair/maintenance is critical for the key industry sectors (e.g. aerospace, nuclear), which require prompt interventions. The paper reports on a tendon driven continuum robotic machine tool with high manoeuvrability in navigating and machini...
