Kinematic Analysis and Simulation of a Novel Continuum Robot for Search and Rescue

Abstract:

In this paper, a novel continuum robot for search and rescue is presented. A detailed formulation of fundamentally new kinematic model is then introduced. Kinematic analysis adopt product of exponentials formula, compare with conventional D-H method, this method is concise and simplicity. Finally, the forward kinematic simulation is completed by Matlab software.
