  • Applications of Automation
  • Collaboration with WIPO
CONT

A continuum robot is typically defined as a continuously bending actuatable structure with an extremity fixed to a base that can contain actuation and control hardware. The core element of a continuum robot is its backbone, which enables bending and acts as [the] main structural component. Whether made of many compliant elements or a single flexible body, the backbone defines the overall shape of the robot.

OBS

continuum robot; continuous robot: designations validated by a Canadian subject-matter expert from Polytechnique Montréal.

CONT

Les robots continus sont constitués d'articulations étendues sur leur structure. Les robots classiques, quant à eux, sont constitués d'articulations ponctuelles reliées entre elles par des liaisons rigides. […] Les robots continus peuvent être classifiés en catégories : les extrinsèques, les intrinsèques et les hybrides suivant leurs méthodes d'actionnement.

OBS

robot continu : désignation validée par un spécialiste canadien de Polytechnique Montréal.
