By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News-According to news reporting originatin g from Washington, D.C., by NewsRx journalists, a patent application by the inve ntor TAKAGI, KIYOSHI (Tokyo, JP), filed on February 15, 2024, was made available online on June 6, 2024. No assignee for this patent application has been made. Reporters obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors: " "Field of the Invention "The present disclosure relates to a control system for a continuum robot and a control method therefor. "Description of the Related Art "A continuum robot is also referred to as "continuum robot," and includes a curv able portion having a flexible structure, and a shape of the continuum robot is controlled by deforming the curvable portion. Such continuum robots have two mai n advantages over robots formed of rigid links (hereinafter referred to as "rigi d-link robots"). The first advantage is that the continuum robot is capable of m oving along a curved line of a target object only by manipulating a tip of the c ontinuum robot in a narrow space in which the rigid-link robot may be stuck or u nder an environment with scattered objects. The second advantage is that the con tinuum robot is innately supple and thus can be manipulated without damaging a f ragile target object, particularly in an open space. As such, the continuum robo ts do not always require detection of an external force at an end effector which is required by the rigid-link robots.
