Disclosed is a rigid-flexible coupled continuum robot unit and a continuum robot. In the rigid-flexible coupled continuum robot unit, structural unit blocks are staggered and interconnected to constitute an entire manipulator; two ends of a flexible nickel-titanium rod are respectively connected with two adjacent structural unit blocks; a front-end unit block is arranged at a foremost end of the manipulator; and a rear-end unit block is arranged at a rearmost end of the manipulator. When in use, a memory alloy nickel-titanium rod forms a flexible joint, a limiting clamping jaw and a limiting boss form a rigid joint, the two complement each other, after a drive wire applies pressure, the limiting clamping jaw and the limiting boss are in a wrapping relationship, a motion trail of the robot unit is limited, such that the robot unit always rotates around a center of rotation along an arc.

Disclosed is a birfield flexible variable-stiffness continuum robot unit and a continuum robot. In the birfield flexible variable-stiffness continuum robot unit, main structural units are interconnected to constitute a continuum manipulator; joint connecting structures connect the two adjacent main structural units; a front-end unit is arranged at a foremost end of the manipulator; and a rear-end unit is arranged at a rearmost end of the manipulator. When in use, birfield joint design is adopted, a single joint has two degrees of freedom, is more flexible and variable, and the adjacent structural units rotate around a center of a sphere, so that modeling is simpler and more convenient; connection design of flexible springs is further adopted, certain stiffness is provided for the manipulator, and thus the manipulator has a variable-stiffness characteristic; and meanwhile, a roll ball structure makes the manipulator have high torsional resistance.

The present disclosure discloses a bearing-type twin-pivot continuum robot, including: an actuating device, used for driving a continuum manipulator through a driving cable such that the continuum manipulator performs a bending motion; a continuum manipulator, connected with the actuating device through the driving cable, the continuum manipulator comprising M sections, adjacent sections being able to be deflected, and the continuum manipulator performing the bending motion under the driving of the actuating device; and a linear slide module, disposed at the bottom of the actuating device, the linear slide module having a predetermined feed slide in a feed direction such that the actuating device performs a feed motion within the predetermined slide. The above continuum robot greatly improves the resistance to torsion of the manipulator by adopting a rigid-compliant coupling mode, and creatively introduces a micro-bearing design that avoids adverse effects due to friction between conventional rigid hinges.
