Welcome to the Continuum Robotics Laboratory!

Exploring the boundaries of robotics, we are pioneering a future with continuum robots, inspired by nature's most adaptable forms. These innovative robots, with their joint-less, continuous structure, can navigate confined spaces, manipulate objects in complex environments, and traverse curvilinear paths in ways that conventional robots cannot. Join us as we redefine the limits of robotic capabilities and open new horizons for technology to interact with the world.
