Continuum Robot Arm

Unlike traditional robotic arms that have rigid, discrete joints, a continuum arm is flexible along its entire length and can bend smoothly in multiple directions.

This design allows the robot to operate in tight, cluttered, or curved environments where conventional robots cannot reach.

Continuum robots typically use cable-driven mechanisms, in which motors pull or release wires to change the arm's curvature.

I developed a two-segment, cable-driven robotic arm with eight stepper motors.

I used python to control the robot throughout Arduino in this project.
