Soft continuum robots enable new application areas in contrast to standard rigid robots, such as interaction with a varying environment. Due to their compliant continuous structure, they are inherently safe and adaptive to environmental conditions. In this paper, the interaction with the environment is performed at the tool-center-point of a soft continuum manipulator and is realized by a hybrid f...
