Toward a Variable Stiffness Surgical Manipulator Based on Fiber Jamming Transition

Toward a Variable Stiffness Surgical Manipulator Based on Fiber Jamming Transition

Soft robots have proved to represent a new frontier for the development of intelligent machines able to show new capabilities that can complement those currently performed by robots based on rigid materials. One of the main application areas where this shift is promising an impact is minimally invas...
