Actuator

An actuator is a component of a machine that produces force, torque, or displacement, usually in a controlled way, when an electrical, pneumatic or hydraulic input is supplied to it in a system (called an actuating system).

See Continuum robot and Actuator

Biorobotics

Biorobotics is an interdisciplinary science that combines the fields of biomedical engineering, cybernetics, and robotics to develop new technologies that integrate biology with mechanical systems to develop more efficient communication, alter genetic information, and create machines that imitate biological systems. Continuum robot and Biorobotics are robotics.

See Continuum robot and Biorobotics

Constant curvature

In mathematics, constant curvature is a concept from differential geometry.

See Continuum robot and Constant curvature

Fiber Bragg grating

A fiber Bragg grating (FBG) is a type of distributed Bragg reflector constructed in a short segment of optical fiber that reflects particular wavelengths of light and transmits all others.

See Continuum robot and Fiber Bragg grating

Hall effect sensor

A Hall effect sensor (also known as a Hall sensor or Hall probe) is any sensor incorporating one or more Hall elements, each of which produces a voltage proportional to one axial component of the '''B''' using the Hall effect (named for physicist Edwin Hall).

See Continuum robot and Hall effect sensor

Intuitive Surgical

Intuitive Surgical, Inc. is an American biotechnology company that develops, manufactures, and markets robotic products designed to improve clinical outcomes of patients through minimally invasive surgery, most notably with the ''da Vinci'' Surgical System.

Inverse kinematics

In computer animation and robotics, inverse kinematics is the mathematical process of calculating the variable joint parameters needed to place the end of a kinematic chain, such as a robot manipulator or animation character's skeleton, in a given position and orientation relative to the start of the chain. Continuum robot and inverse kinematics are robot kinematics.

Machine learning

Machine learning (ML) is a field of study in artificial intelligence concerned with the development and study of statistical algorithms that can learn from data and generalize to unseen data and thus perform tasks without explicit instructions.

See Continuum robot and Machine learning

Mathematical optimization

Mathematical optimization (alternatively spelled optimisation) or mathematical programming is the selection of a best element, with regard to some criteria, from some set of available alternatives.

See Continuum robot and Mathematical optimization

Neural network

A neural network is a group of interconnected units called neurons that send signals to one another.

See Continuum robot and Neural network

Optical fiber

An optical fiber, or optical fibre, is a flexible glass or plastic fiber that can transmit light from one end to the other.

See Continuum robot and Optical fiber

Regression analysis

In statistical modeling, regression analysis is a set of statistical processes for estimating the relationships between a dependent variable (often called the 'outcome' or 'response' variable, or a 'label' in machine learning parlance) and one or more independent variables (often called 'predictors', 'covariates', 'explanatory variables' or 'features').

See Continuum robot and Regression analysis

Robot

A robot is a machine—especially one programmable by a computer—capable of carrying out a complex series of actions automatically. Continuum robot and robot are robotics.

See Continuum robot and Robot

Serial manipulator

Serial manipulators are the most common industrial robots and they are designed as a series of links connected by motor-actuated joints that extend from a base to an end-effector. Continuum robot and Serial manipulator are robot kinematics.

See Continuum robot and Serial manipulator

Shape-memory alloy

In metallurgy, a shape-memory alloy (SMA) is an alloy that can be deformed when cold but returns to its pre-deformed ("remembered") shape when heated.

See Continuum robot and Shape-memory alloy

Snake-arm robot

A snake-arm robot is a slender hyper-redundant manipulator.

See Continuum robot and Snake-arm robot

Soft robotics

Soft robotics is a subfield of robotics that concerns the design, control, and fabrication of robots composed of compliant materials, instead of rigid links. Continuum robot and Soft robotics are robot kinematics and robotics.

See Continuum robot and Soft robotics

Tendon-driven robot

Tendon-driven robots (TDR) are robots whose limbs mimic biological musculoskeletal systems.
