Due to the advantages of high flexibility, large workspace, and good human-body compatibility, flexible tendon-driven surgical continuum robots have attracted a lot of attention in robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery. However, due to the coupling of the position and angle of the continuum robot, and the easy deformation of the external force, its inverse kinematics solution has always been a...
