Slack and Excessive Loading Avoidance in <italic>n</italic>-Tendon Continuum Robots

In this work, two tendon tension loading distributions (fixed and moving) are designed to prevent undesired slack and excessive loading in tendons of continuum manipulators. For any given beam configuration, the algorithms utilize the proposed loading distributions to find a new beam configuration a...
