Abstract:In recent years, flexible continuum robots have been substantially developed. Absolute nodal coordinates formulation (ANCF) gives a feasible path for simulating the behavior of flexible robots. However, the model of finger-shaped robots is often regarded as a cylinder and characterized by a beam element. Obviously, this is short of characterizing the geometrical feature of fingers in detail, especially under bending conditions. Additionally, for the lower-order plate element, it is hard to characterize the ben… Show more

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
