Modeling and Experimental Verification of a Continuous Curvature-Based Soft Growing Manipulator
Published in IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters, 2024
This paper is about investigating a potential solution to address the limitations of precise control for a tendon-driven soft robot. Additionally, we provide an experimental verification of its inverse kinematic model verified by using three positions, resulting in errors of less than 8%.
