Cooperative continuum robots: Enhancing individual continuum arms by reconfiguring into a parallel manipulator (2021)
Journal Article
Russo, M., Sriratanasak, N., Ba, W., Dong, X., Mohammad, A., & Axinte, D. (2022). Cooperative continuum robots: Enhancing individual continuum arms by reconfiguring into a parallel manipulator. IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters, 7(2), 1558-1565. https://doi.org/10.1109/LRA.2021.3139371

Continuum robots are able of in-situ inspection tasks in cluttered environments and narrow passages, where conventional robots and human operators cannot intervene. However, such intervention often requires the robot to interact with the environment,...

An efficient follow-the-leader strategy for continuum robot navigation and coiling (2021)
Journal Article
Mohammad, A., Russo, M., Fang, Y., Dong, X., Axinte, D., & Kell, J. (2021). An efficient follow-the-leader strategy for continuum robot navigation and coiling. IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters, 6(4), 7493 - 7500. https://doi.org/10.1109/LRA.2021.3097265

Efficient path planning for hyper-redundant continuum and snake-like robots is a challenging task due to limited sensing capabilities, high computational loads, multiple possible solutions, and non-linear models. This paper presents a new approach to... Read More about An efficient follow-the-leader strategy for continuum robot navigation and coiling.

Design and Validation of a Novel Fuzzy-Logic-Based Static Feedback Controller for Tendon-Driven Continuum Robots (2021)
Journal Article
Ba, W., Dong, X., Mohammad, A., Wang, M., Axinte, D., & Norton, A. (2021). Design and Validation of a Novel Fuzzy-Logic-Based Static Feedback Controller for Tendon-Driven Continuum Robots. IEEE/ASME Transactions on Mechatronics, 26(6), 3010-3021. https://doi.org/10.1109/TMECH.2021.3050263

IEEE Continuum robots (CRs) outperform the conventional rigid-link manipulators in aspects of hyper-redundant and compliant features. They provide universal and efficient solutions to access to constrained environments, e.g., aero-engines and industr...
