    • Embodiments of the present invention provide a continuum manipulator that can be used, for example, as a steerable catheter tip. The manipulator of the embodiments comprises a plurality of segments arranged in a stack, which is then able to bend in a range of directions away from the long axis of the stack. In one embodiment the segments include a helical portion which winds in the direction of the long axis of the stack, and can thus bend away from the long axis in any direction. In another embodiment the segments include a backbone portion with cantilevered rings extending from the backbone portion, separated by bending gaps which allow the segment to bend in a range of directions away from the backbone portion so that the bending gap between the rings closes. In some embodiments a carbon fibre rod is included as a backbone for the stack, to minimise hysteresis and improve repeatability of bending. In addition, in embodiments of the invention tendon control channels are provided formed within the segments, through which tendon control wires extend to apply compression and/or bending forces to the stack Having the control channels formed internally to the stack strengthens the stack and makes the stacked structure conform to the channel(s). In particular unwanted twisting of the tip of the stack can be prevented and torquability can be improved.
    • 本发明的实施例提供了可以用作例如可控导管尖端的连续机械手。 实施例的操纵器包括布置在堆叠中的多个段,所述多个段然后能够在远离堆的长轴的一定范围的方向上弯曲。 在一个实施例中,这些部分包括一个螺旋部分,该螺旋部分在该堆叠的长轴的方向上卷绕,并且因此可以在任何方向上远离长轴弯曲。 在另一个实施方案中,所述片段包括具有从骨架部分延伸的悬臂环的骨架部分,其通过弯曲间隙分开,所述弯曲间隙允许片段在远离骨架部分的方向范围内弯曲,使得环之间的弯曲间隙闭合。 在一些实施例中,碳纤维棒被包括作为堆叠的主干,以最小化滞后并提高弯曲的可重复性。 此外,在本发明的实施例中,提供了腱控制通道,腱控制通道被设置在部段内,腱控制线通过该腱控制通道延伸以将压缩和/或弯曲力施加到堆叠。在堆叠内部形成控制通道增强了堆叠并且使得 堆叠结构符合通道。 特别是可以防止烟囱顶端发生不必要的扭曲,并且可以提高扭矩。
