Soft continuum robots and manipulators (SCRaMs) are elongated structures that can be used in many applications, such as exploration, inspection, and minimally invasive surgery. Multi‐ segment SCRaMs employ numerous actuators to perform their tasks. The large number of actuators increases the cost a...
