Constraint-based Kinematics

Constraint-Based Kinematics is a kinematic modeling framework that characterizes the motion and deformation of continuum robots by explicitly incorporating physical and geometric constraints—such as constant curvature, inextensibility, or actuation limits—into the formulation of their spatial configuration, thereby distinguishing it from unconstrained or purely data-driven kinematic approaches within medical robot kinematics.
