Jacobian Matrix of a Novel Continuum Robot for Search and Rescue

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, a novel continuum robot for search and rescue is presented. A forward kinematic model is derived by product of exponentials formula, compare with conventional D-H method, this method is concise and simplicity. Finally, based on the differential kinematics using the chain rule, the overall Jacobian of the robot is established. This approach can be generally applied to various continuum robots, regardless of the specific actuation system used.
