The system equips a continuum robot with IMUs and coil–magnetometer pairs to estimate its 3D backbone without external cameras. It combines continuously polled attitude estimates with intermittent magnetic corrections, reporting configuration updates at 16.7 Hz. Across four scenarios, fused estimates averaged 10.0 ± 3.2 mm backbone RMSE and 14.9 ± 6.5 mm tip RMSE; control was not independently validated.
