Python Port

Our third release is out and includes the long-awaited Python port alongside some minor bug fixes. Python users can now take advantage of the same great features and functionality that our Open CRVisToolkit offers. We're thrilled to be able to expand our reach to even more users and can't wait to see what you create with this new capability.

Shoutout to @TaqiHamoda who implemented the port!

CTCR Visualization and Robot Independent Mapping

In our second release, we provide you with new MATLAB functions to plot a concentric tube continuum robot (CTCR) with multiple tubes from a framed backbone curve as input. We also added a utility function that creates a framed backbone curve from constant curvature arc parameters as commonly used in the constant curvature kinematics framework.

TDCR visualization using MATLAB

In our first release, we provide you with a MATLAB function to plot a tendon-driven continuum robot (TDCR) with multiple segments from a framed backbone curve as input. We assume that the TDCR has spacer disks located at each position on the backbone curve and that it is operated by sets of three tendons.
