A Magnetically Actuated Variable Stiffness Manipulator Based on Deployable Shape Memory Polymer Springs

A Magnetically Actuated Variable Stiffness Manipulator Based on Deployable Shape Memory Polymer Springs

Continuum manipulators have found several applications in surgical interventions like endoscopy, laparoscopy, and as end‐effectors for surgical robots. Continuum manipulators coupled with magnetic actuation can be precisely maneuvered inside the human body. Recently, variable stiffness manipulators...
