Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Design a theorized continuum robot that can operate in hazardous environments (like space). Describe its actuation method, modeling technique, and potential challenges.

💡 Hint: Consider environmental factors that differ from Earth's.

Challenge 2 Hard

In a comparative analysis, evaluate the suitability of fluidic versus cable actuation in a medical application such as minimally invasive surgery.

💡 Hint: Think about what is most important in a medical setting, the flexibility to navigate or the strength needed to move.
