Continuum Robot Design

Continuum Robot Design is a robot design methodology within soft robotics that employs continuously flexible structures and actuation principles inspired by biological appendages, distinguishing itself from rigid or segmented robotic systems through its inherent compliance and smooth, infinite-degree-of-freedom kinematics.
