... the shape of the continuum mechanism under no load, constant load, and varying load conditions, which possesses potential applications in the precise motion control and external force sensing of surgical robots. On this basis, an artificial neural network-based continuum shape estimation method...

...Houcheng Tang; Leila Notash In this paper, an artificial neural network (ANN)-based transfer learning approach of inverse displacement analysis of robot manipulators is studied. ANNs with different structures are applied utilizing data from different end-effector paths of a manipulator for training...
