Published in 2017 at "IFAC-PapersOnLine"

DOI: 10.1016/j.ifacol.2017.08.1115

Abstract: Abstract We consider the problem of controlling pneumatically actuated continuum robots with uncertain system dynamics and input disturbance. While such systems are intrinsically structurally safe due to soft and light-weight components, their structural flexibility challenges… read more here.
