Abstract
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.
