Decentralized morphological stiffness tunable interface for continuum manipulators

This thesis investigates how the problem of stiffness regulation of continuum manipulators can be simplified by inspiration from morphology of biological fish scales and experimental observation of manipulator geometry deformation. Soft continuum “trunk and tentacle” manipulators have high inherent...
