Project Goal

Reconstruct soft manipulators in a simulator from camera recordings by utilizing a Cosserat rod model-based estimation method with data information from a limited number of sensors along the actuator. Employ an innovative and iterative algorithm and reach a reconstruction precision of less than 2.8% error.
