Real-time motion generation for tendon-driven continuum robots requires accurate modeling of nonuniform bending and whole-body collision avoidance. This paper presents a unified actuation-space framework for planar multi-segment tendon-driven continuum robots. An energy-based variable-curvature model captures spatially...

Deterministic dynamics modeling of tendon-driven continuum robots remains challenging owing to uncertainties in material behavior, tendon transmission, friction, and contact. Measured joint configurations and nominal tendon commands do not fully characterize these internal mechanical factors, leaving uncertainty in the...

Soft and continuum robots enable manipulation through distributed body deformation and contact, yet translating language and visual context into executable whole-body actuation remains a fundamental challenge. We present SWIM, a framework that maps an initial RGB observation and a language instruction to a complete act...

Soft continuum robots can exploit distributed compliance for whole-body manipulation, but synthesizing behavior through changing contacts remains difficult. We address whole-body grasping and pick-and-throw from an initially ungrasped state through outcome-based actuation-space optimization. Grasping is quantified by t...
