Design, Measurement and Shape Reconstruction of Soft Surgical Actuator Based on Fiber Bragg Gratings

Soft actuators are the components responsible for organs and tissues adsorptive fixation in some surgical operations, but the lack of shape sensing and monitoring of a soft actuator greatly limits their application potential. Consequently, this paper proposes a real-time 3D shape reconstruction meth...
