Improved Continuum Joint Configuration Estimation Using a Linear Combination of Length Measurements and Optimization of Sensor Placement

This paper presents methods for placing length sensors on a soft continuum robot joint as well as a novel configuration estimation method that drastically minimizes configuration estimation error. The methods utilized for placing sensors along the length of the joint include a single joint length se...
