Abstract: Disclosed herein are a tube continuum robot and a method for manufacturing a tube. More particularly, disclosed are a tube continuum robot and a method for manufacturing a tube, which is used in the tube continuum robot having a plurality of overlapping tubes and has anisotropic patterns for controlling the bending rigidity and torsional rigidity of the tube. In an embodiment, a tube continuum robot has a plurality of overlapping tubes, one or more of the plurality of overlapping tubes having a curved shape, wherein a plurality of anisotropic patterns are formed on the outer circumferential surface of the one or more tubes along the lengthwise or circumferential direction of the tubes.
