To solve the control problem of continuum robot for aiming and tracking the external target with visual perception, a visual servoing based autonomous continuum robot has been designed and developed by Professor Peng Haijun’s team from Dalian University of Technology. It has been recognized as the autonomous continuum robot that hits the moving target center for the longest distance after strict on-site certification by the World Record Certification (WRCA); the longest tracking distance is 30.129 m.
