A reusable actuation platform for continuum robots
A modular platform separates actuation hardware and software from robot architecture, demonstrated through camera teleoperation and bimanual concentric-tube forceps manipulation.

What changed
- Module characterization reports submillimetre translation accuracy over 30 mm and under 5° rotational error over 180°.
- The authors report releasing hardware designs and ROS software; module metrics are distinct from clinical tip accuracy.
Relevance to constrained-space work
Reusable modules and common interfaces support replication and comparison across continuum architectures.
