Twisted string actuation with position feedback for robotic endoscopy
A twisted string actuator (TSA) is a small, strong, lightweight, and low-cost gear, transforming rotation into a linear pulling movement. The TSA consists of two or more strings that are twisted along their common longitudinal axis. The helix formed in this process becomes shorter the further the bu...
