Abstract
In this letter, we present cooperative continuum robot (CCR) concept, kineto-static analysis, and model validation. Our motivation is to provide increased reachability and maneuverability required in a wide range of continuum robot applications, such as medical interventions. We present a model for the CCR with a minimum number of unknown parameters by formulating the governing equations of each continuum robot in the local frame. The obtained equations are then reformulated in a scaled and nondimensional iterative scheme, leading to a computationally stable and efficient model of the CCR, at rates that enable real-time simulation, design optimization, and control. As a case study, a coupled catheters system is chosen to perform the experimental verifications of the proposed CCR model. Simulations are also conducted to evaluate the enhancement of the workspace and dexterity of the CCR.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
