Continuum Robot Segments With High Output Stiffness via Diagonal Backbones

Continuum robots offer unique advantages for applications such as minimally invasive surgery, navigation through confined environments, and safe human-robot interaction. However, while most continuum robot segments are designed to exhibit constant curvature over their length, they passively deform i...
