This paper is concerned with the issue of the kinematic model-based bending control for the magnetically actuated robotic endoscope and its application for automatic retroflexion. By the utilization of the Cosserat rod theory and the transformation in the magnetic tip of the endoscope, the comprehensive kinematic model of the magnetically-actuated robotic endoscope is established. Afterward, a mag...
