# Electromagnetically Driven Robot for Multipurpose Applications
## 1 Introduction and Literature  
A continuum robot is a sophisticated robotic system distinguished by its unique design featuring a flexible and bendable section. This advanced robot's form is dynamically controlled by manipulating its bendable segment, enabling it to adapt and conform to various shapes and contours. The distinct advantages continuum robots offer in comparison to conventional rigid-link robots are profound. One of the primary benefits lies in its remarkable ability to traverse along the intricate curves and surfaces of objects by manoeuvring its tip within confined spaces. This exceptional manoeuvrability opens up a new dimension of possibilities for applications requiring precision and agility in constrained environments. Moreover, the inherent softness of continuum robots, attributed to their bendable structure, plays a pivotal role in their operational superiority. This softness ensures gentle interactions with delicate and fragile objects, thereby minimizing the risk of damage--a critical feature when working in open spaces or handling sensitive materials. Continuum robots possess a remarkable advantage in their infinite degrees of freedom and the abundance of joints, enabling them to dynamically adjust and reshape themselves at any position along their length [1]. This unique capability empowers continuum robotsto navigate and function effectively in tight, intricate environments that are beyond the reach of traditional rigid-link robots. The versatility of continuum robots in adapting their form to suit the requirements of diverse tasks makes them a promising solution for a wide range of applications. In the field of medical devices, continuum robots are poised to revolutionize procedures requiring precise and minimally invasive interventions [2]. Their ability to manoeuvre through intricate pathways with ease makes them ideal candidates for applications such as endoscope sheaths and catheters, where delicate control and access to hard-to-reach areas are paramount. The flexibility and dexterity of continuum robots offer healthcare professionals a level of precision and control that can enhance diagnostic accuracy and therapeutic outcomes. Furthermore, the adaptability of continuum robots extends beyond medical settings to encompass extreme work environments, including search and rescue missions [3]. Their capacity to navigate through complex terrains and confined spaces with agility makes them invaluable assets in scenarios where human access is limited or hazardous. By leveraging the unique capabilities of continuum robots, rescue teams can enhance their efficiency and effectiveness in locating and extracting individuals in challenging conditions. The actuation of continuum robots remains a significant challenge, prompting the development of diverse actuation mechanisms to tackle this obstacle [4]. Two primary categories based on the location of actuation mechanisms have emerged: extrinsic actuation and intrinsic actuation systems. Extrinsically actuated robots rely on external actuators to drive the robot's movements, whereas intrinsically actuated robots integrate actuators within the robot's structure, enhancing compactness and efficiency [5; 6]. In addition to these conventional actuation methods, some continuum robots leverage the unique properties of materials or fluids to achieve control and manipulation. By harnessing the inherent characteristics of specific substances, these robots exhibit novel modes of actuation that expand their operational capabilities and adaptability to varying tasks and environments [7]. Furthermore, within the realm of continuum robotics, geared-based and motor-based systems represent alternative approaches to actuation. While geared mechanisms offer precision and power transmission, they may be deemed unsuitable for certain applications due to concerns such as size constraints and complexity [8]. Motor-based systems, on the other hand, provide a versatile and direct means of actuation, enabling controlled and efficient movement in a variety of scenarios.
