An Offline‐Cascade‐Online Learning‐Based Algorithm for Distal Trajectory Estimation of Medical Continuum Manipulators

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
An offline‐cascade‐online (OCO) estimation algorithm that achieves the distal trajectory estimation in unstructured working space and with long‐term visual occlusion is proposed. This OCO estimation algorithm cascades a backpropagation‐based offline learning and a radial basis function‐based online learning network, realizing the prior estimation and ...

Toward Autonomous Self‐Healing in Soft Robotics: A Review and Perspective for Future Research

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
In this article, five different phases (damage detection, cleaning, damage closure, material healing, and healing assessment) are investigated to have an autonomous self‐healing at the system level with the focus on soft robotics. It delves into the importance of each phase, why and where they matter, and reviews relevant technologies that enable ...
