Continuum Robots Collaborate for Safe Manipulation of High-Temperature Flame to Enable Repairs in Challenging Environments

Xin Dong et al.

Summary: This letter introduces two long continuum robots working collaboratively in a crammed space to manipulate an extreme-temperature flame for coating repair on aeroengines without the need for disassembly. The Adder robot carries a thermal spray nozzle while the Observer robot carries cameras and a flame ignitor, offering advantages in both operational time and repair costs, as demonstrated on a real aeroengine.

Cooperative Continuum Robots: Enhancing Individual Continuum Arms by Reconfiguring Into a Parallel Manipulator

Matteo Russo et al.

Summary: Continuum robots are limited in their intervention capabilities due to low stiffness and payload. This letter proposes a paradigm shift to multiple continuum robots that can physically connect to enhance precision, stiffness, and payload. Challenges in modelling and controlling cooperative continuum robots are outlined, and an experimental comparison highlights the advantages of the proposed technology.

Tendon-driven continuum robots with extensible sections-A model-based evaluation of path-following motions

Ernar Amanov et al.

Summary: Continuum robots are highly miniaturizable, non-linear in shape, flexible, and compliant, making them suitable for minimally invasive surgery and technical inspections. Various types of continuum robots have limitations in path selection and parameter optimization, highlighting the need for robots with additional degrees of freedom and versatility in design.

Design, modelling and validation of a novel extra slender continuum robot for in-situ inspection and repair in aeroengine

Mingfeng Wang et al.

Summary: The novel extra-slender dual-stage continuum robot is proposed for in-situ aeroengine maintenance to navigate in and out confined environments. Innovative mechatronic solutions along with kinematic and static models based on curvature theory and elastic rod theory were established to evaluate the robot capabilities of performing predefined shape and stiffness in constrained environments.

An Efficient Follow-the-Leader Strategy for Continuum Robot Navigation and Coiling

Abdelkhalick Mohammad et al.

Summary: Efficient path planning for hyper-redundant continuum and snake-like robots is challenging due to limited sensing capabilities and high computational loads. This letter presents a new approach with an algorithm that enables online step-by-step position adjustment, significantly improving robot performance for inspection and maintenance tasks in nuclear facilities. The proposed algorithm is demonstrated on a 16-degree-of-freedom snake-like robot.

Task-oriented optimal dimensional synthesis of robotic manipulators with limited mobility

Matteo Russo et al.

Summary: This article proposes an optimization method for dimensional synthesis of robotic manipulators with limited mobility, aiming to minimize position and orientation error by combining path planning algorithms and dimensional synthesis. The method has been validated with a case study of a 4-DoF robot for high-precision laser operations in aeroengines, showing stable algorithm performance with high convergence rate and short time to solution in highly constrained scenarios.
