A numerical framework for the stability and cardinality analysis of concentric tube robots: Introduction and application to the follow-the-leader deployment

Résumé

Concentric tube robot (CTR) is a promising class of continuum robots for medical interventions given their compactness and dexterity. Their dexterity is in particularbeingusedtoachievesocalledFollow-the-Leader(FTL)deployments, wherethetippathdrawstheshapeoftherobot. Duringthiskindofdeployment theycanhoweverbesubjecttoelasticinstabilities, andthenumberofreachable configurations may vary for a given state of actuators. These cardinality and stability changes need therefore to be predicted during CTR design. Available methods and results are limited, with restrictive assumptions on number and properties of tubes. We therefore propose in this paper a numerical framework for the cardinality and stability assessment of CTR. It is based on the association of dynamic relaxation, continuation method and bifurcation analysis. The numerical framework is validated by reproducing reference results on the stability and cardinality of two-tube robots. Then, new results on three-tube CTR deploying in a FTL manner are presented. The framework genericity allows in particular to provide new insights on the behaviour of CTR with helical-shaped tubes.
