soft robotAbstract
This work presents a soft continuum robot (SCR) that can be used as a soft continuum manipulator (SCM) and a soft snake robot (SSR).
This is achieved using expanded polyethylene foam (EPE) modules as the soft material.
In situations like post-earthquake search operations, these dual-purpose robots could play a vital role.
The soft continuum manipulator with a camera attached to the tip can manually search for survivors in the debris.
On the other hand, the soft snake robot can be made by attaching an active wheel to the soft continuum manipulator.
This mobile robot can reach places humans cannot and gather information about survivors.
This work presents the design, fabrication, and experimental validation of the dual soft continuum robot.
