Data-driven techniques show promising results in force estimation for Concentric Tube Continuum Robots, but often require extensive datasets, which are difficult to acquire. This work introduces a mapping-based transfer learning approach to improve the efficiency of data-driven methods for contact force estimation, by proposing a diffeomorphic mapping-based algorithm that reduces data requirements, enabling more practical application of these methods. By transforming data from pre-curved tubes into the feature space of non-curved tubes, our method allows a pre-trained neural network to estimate forces efficiently across various tube configurations, eliminating the need for additional data for changing tube configurations and retraining of the network. Simulation tests show high accuracy for curvatures up to $\kappa = 7\frac{1}{m}$, significantly reducing the need to create large datasets for each new robot configuration.

Concentric tube continuum robots (CTCRs) belong to the family of continuum robots with applications in minimally invasive surgeries. Because of this application domain, measuring the external forces along the body of the robot is paramount. CTCRs are made up of thin elastic rods and are intended to be applied inside the human body, where conventional sensor-based measurements are not feasible. Consequently, research is resorting to estimate the forces through geometric, numeric, or optimization methods. However, these methods often suffer from slow convergence. In this paper, we introduce a novel data-driven approach for estimating contact forces along the body of a CTCR that offers an estimation precision comparable to the current state-of-the-art optimization-based approaches, but exhibits nearly two orders of magnitude faster convergence. The proposed method is scalable and exhibits a significant performance in response to a wide range of external forces. The approach was evaluated in simulations and on a real 2-tube CTCR.

The kinematic structure of Franka Emika's redundant cobot Panda features two translational offsets that prevent three of the six pairs of adjacent joints from intersecting each other. These offsets make Panda's elbow motion in null space hard to predict with respect to existing redundancy parameters. The null space motion analysis of Panda's elbow presented in this work leads to the definition of a redundancy parameter that can be used intuitively. The semi-analytical approach applied in this work induces a fast inverse kinematics algorithm that offers a redundancy resolution which does not affect the reachability of the given end effector pose. Even libfranka, Franka Emika's supplied library, does not offer such a Cartesian approach of keeping control of Panda's secondary motion while fulfilling primary manipulation tasks.
