Summary: Mobile soft continuum manipulator (MSCM) is widely used in various applications of everyday life. However, its shape control in unstructured environments remains a challenge. This paper proposes a kinematic-model-based shape control method for MSCM's autonomous navigation in the presence of obstacles. The shape is modeled using a parametric spatial Pythagorean hodograph (PH) curve, and the artificial potential field algorithm is used for shape adaptation. Experimental results demonstrate the advantages of using a simplified kinematic model based on PH curve for controlling the MSCM's shape in dynamic motion.
