The Open Continuum Robotics project

The Open Continuum Robotics projectproject was launched by the Continuum Robotics Laboratory (CRL) at the University of Toronto in 2022. After a decade of research on continuum robotics, the time is right for us to empower the world with open hardware and open software to build their own continuum robots. With our blog, we are filling the gap between continuum robotics research papers and general robotics knowledge to provide entry-level educational content. We also cover best practices, historical perspectives, research news, etc.

OpenCR Blog
Entry level educational content, advanced research results, historical perspectives, and hands-on posts.

CRVisToolkit
A set of MATLAB functions for visualization and plotting of continuum robots. And utility functions to support your research.

OpenCR Hardware
Actuation Module: CAD drawings, components, assembly instructions, code, etc. for you to build a continuum robot for research.
