In the 21st century, robotics has been revolutionized by a new perspective: robots made of
soft materials mimicking nature show several advantages compared to hard robot …

The geometrical inflexibility of rigid-body kinetic building façades is disadvantageous in free-
form architecture. To address this problem, a gearless, lightweight, and geometrically …

Soft robots are becoming more popular because they can solve issues stiff robots cannot.
Soft component and system design have seen several innovations recently. Next-generation …

This study investigates the compatibility between the soft deformation and high stiffness
through the development of a soft robotic gripper for a human-scale payload. Softness is …

Soft robots mimic the agility of living organisms without rigid joints and muscles. Continuum
bending (CB) is one type of motion living organisms can display. CB can be achieved using …

Soft robotic grippers are increasingly preferred for object manipulation due to their
enhanced-grasping capabilities, safe interaction, and high flexibility. This research presents …

This paper discusses the integration of a soft pneumatic actuator (SPA) with a shape
memory alloy (SMA) to improve haptic technologies in social robotics. The use of traditional …

The field of soft robotics is experiencing a transformative phase with the emergence of self-
supporting modular soft robot arms, inspired by design principles drawn from climbing …

As robotics tech progresses, robots' role as everyday aids grows, spanning from
companions to service bots. Beyond functionality, they must enhance human interaction …

Body ache is one of the major problems faced by old people. Manual body massage is a
common remedy for pain relief. To automate the process of comfort and physical relief, a …
