Continuum Robot with Embedded Soft Actuators

航空燃气轮机的常规原位检测对于航空发动机的高水平安全至关重要。目前，这些检查所能获取的数据有限，拆卸飞机发动机进行维护和大修需要花费时间和金钱。在不需要拆除或拆除的情况下进行详细的现场检查和维修，在时间和金钱方面都非常经济。这项技术的主要长期愿景是拥有连续的蛇形机器人，能够进入燃气涡轮发动机并进行现场维修，否则人类工程师不可能在没有拆卸或拆卸的情况下完成这些工作。该项目将包括用于Continuum机器人的软执行器技术的设计、建模和控制。

Routine in-situ inspections on aero gas turbines are crucial for high levels of aero engine safety. These inspections are currently limited in the possible data that can be captured, time and money are spent removing aircraft engines to perform maintenance and overhaul. The ability to perform detailed in-situ inspections and repairs without the need for removal or dismantling, would be extremely economical in terms of time and money. The main long-term vision of this technology is to have continuum snake-like robots with the ability to enter gas turbine engines and perform in-situ repairs that would be otherwise impossible to perform for a human engineer without removal or dismantling.The project will include the Design, Modelling and Control of Soft Actuator Technology for use in Continuum Robot.
