I read the review[1] on flexible manipulators, the modeling method of multi-link(even if single-link) flexible manipulators seems very different from the continuum robots like OctArm(multi-section), hyper-redundant manipulator and etc which based on the backbone curve or constant curvature model.

Continuum robots do not have rigid elements while multi-link flexible manipulators use "traditional" rigid links between flexible joints. One long continuous flexible material vs. a series of short flexible material segments interconnected with rigid material.

  • $\begingroup$ So multi-link flexible robot is more “difficult” “ complex” than continuum robots from the view of modeling. Series vs. one long flexible-link. $\endgroup$
