Abstract
By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News – Fresh data on robotics are presented in a new rep ort. According to news reporting originating from Tehran, Iran, by NewsRx corres pondents, research stated, “Continuum manipulators with controllable shape and e xerting force are attractive devices.” Our news editors obtained a quote from the research from University of Tehran: “ Utilizing great features of shape memory alloys (SMAs), thin continuum modules a re developed. SMAs are embedded around an elastic rod and activated through a co ntrol algorithm to set a desired shape. However, complex behavior of SMAs in suc h a multi-input multi-output system, make the control challenging. Additionally, simultaneous control of position and the force applied by the module, as a chal lenging problem, has not been investigated so far. Handling this problem may inc rease the application of continuum robots when utilized as manipulators or when pass through narrow and complex canals with sensitive wall. In this research, po sition and force control of such continuum module is under focus for achieving a more practical tool for better non-invasive medical devices.”
