Rongjie Kang, Emanuele Guglielmino, Letizia Zullo, David T Branson, Isuru Godage, and Darwin G Caldwell. Embodiment design of soft continuum robots. Advances in Mechanical Engineering 2017; 8(4): 1-13. DOI: 10.1177/1687814016643302

The Advances in Mechanical Engineering Editorial Office became aware that the peer review process organised by the Guest Editors of the Special Collection Advanced Control and Analysis of Mechatronics Systems with Modelling Uncertainty did not meet the journal’s usual rigorous standards of peer review. Due to this, all articles in the Special Collection were re-reviewed by a new set of independent referees.

Based on the feedback from the new independent referees, the following correction is to be made to the above-referenced article.

The authors described the length of the robot but omitted information on its diameter, as the diameter changes along the length of the robot. This information has been provided in the two tables below.

Table 1.

Size of the Robotic Prototype

Parameter	Value
Length of the robot	670mm
Diameter of the robot	70mm at the base
Length of the PMAs	100mm
Diameter of the PMAs	8mm

Table 2.

Size of the Arm Model

Parameter	Value
Length of the arm model	670mm
Diameter of the arm base	70mm
Diameter of the arm tip	45mm
Number of the segments	30
