Continuum Robot Morphology

Continuum Robot Morphology is a robotic morphology characterized by a continuously flexible backbone structure that enables smooth, infinite degrees of freedom in motion, distinguishing it from rigid-link and discrete-joint robotic morphologies through its biomimetic, compliant design and inherent structural elasticity.
