Flexible endoscopic robots enable minimally invasive access through natural orifices, but their control accuracy is limited by configuration-dependent hysteresis in the tendon-sheath mechanisms (TSMs). Tendon-sheath friction and tendon elasticity induce a systematic discrepancy between the proximal actuation input and distal output, and this discrepancy varies with the insertion tube configuration. To address this challenge, this paper proposes the Self-Sensing Tendon Loop (SSTL), a double-pass tendon loop routed through the insertion tube and wrapped around a distal pulley, and returned to the proximal end. The loop structure allows both the input and output tensions of the SSTL to be measured proximally, thereby providing an input-output tension profile without requiring distal force or fiber-optic sensors. Because the SSTL shares the same routing path as the actuation TSM, the two TSMs exhibit strongly correlated hysteresis behaviors. From the SSTL tension profile, a learning-based mapping estimates the configuration-dependent hysteresis parameters of the actuation TSM, which are then used by a feedforward controller to compensate for actuation hysteresis. We validate the proposed method by tracking actuation tendon tension under three different insertion tube configurations. Across sinusoidal and random trajectories, the proposed method reduces average RMSE by 88.1% compared with the uncompensated baseline, achieving 97.8% of the performance of direct identification, which requires direct measurement of the input and output tension profile of the actuation TSM.
