Modeling tendon-sheath mechanism with flexible configurations for robot control

Surgical and search/rescue robots oftenwork in environments with very strict spatial constraints. The tendon-sheath mechanism is a promising candidate for driving such systems, allowing power sources and actuation motors placed outside to transmit force and energy to the robot at the distal end...
