Summarization: Drilling through the subsurface is a complex operation and problems are almost guaranteed to occur. Therefore, understanding and anticipating drilling problems, understanding their causes and planning solutions are necessary for successfully reaching the target. The most prevalent drilling problems include pipe sticking, lost circulation,

Contact Force Estimation of Continuum Robots without Embedded Sensors: A Review
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.This review surveys methods for estimating contact forces in continuum robots without embedded sensors. It explains why contact force matters, classifies force patterns, and groups existing methods into three approaches based on actuation, deformation, and environment information.
