Advances in soft robotics, materials science, and stretchable electronics have enabled rapid
progress in soft grippers. Here, a critical overview of soft robotic grippers is presented …

Soft robotics is a growing area of research which utilizes the compliance and adaptability of
soft structures to develop highly adaptive robotics for soft interactions. One area in which soft …

Soft robot arms offer safety and adaptability due to their passive compliance, but this
compliance typically limits their payload capacity and prevents them from performing many …

Animals exploit the deformability of soft structures to move efficiently in complex natural
environments. These soft structures are inherently compliant and enable large strains in …

In this work we describe an autonomous soft-bodied robot that is both self-contained and
capable of rapid, continuum-body motion. We detail the design, modeling, fabrication, and …

The soft robotics field is changing the way people think, build, interact, and most importantly
perceive robots. Robots have long been perceived as machines made of metals that their …

This work provides approaches to designing and fabricating soft fluidic elastomer robots.
That is, three viable actuator morphologies composed entirely from soft silicone rubber are …

Soft manipulator is a kind of special manipulator that uses soft material or flexible structure to
perform manipulation task under the specific drive mode inspired by the soft tissue. It is …

In this paper, we describe the advances in the design, actuation, modeling, and control field
of continuum robots. After decades of pioneering research, many innovative structural …

This paper presents a robotic manipulation system capable of autonomously positioning a
multi-segment soft fluidic elastomer robot in three dimensions. Specifically, we present an …
