Accurate shape estimation of concentric tube robots (CTRs) using mathematical models remains a challenge, reinforcing the need to develop techniques for accurate and real-time shape sensing of CTRs. In this paper, we develop a fusion algorithm that predicts the robot's shape by combining a mathematical model of the CTR with a measurement of the Cartesian coordinates of the robot's tip using an ele...
