What changed
- Up to three conveyor mechanisms fit inside a 9 mm diameter continuum robot.
- Changing the position and number of magnetic coupling points adjusts the coupled system’s effective stiffness.
Relevance to constrained-space work
Repositioning functional elements along the body extends mechanism design beyond a fixed end effector.
