Soft robotics is a rapidly evolving field where robots are fabricated using highly deformable
materials and usually follow a bioinspired design. Their high dexterity and safety make them …

This paper presents a literature survey documenting the evolution of continuum robots over
the past two decades (1999–present). Attention is paid to bioinspired soft robots with respect …

Performing daily interaction tasks such as opening doors and pulling drawers in
unstructured environments is a challenging problem for robots. The emergence of soft …

Generic and high-performance feedback control is still challenging for tendon-driven
continuum robots. Conventional model-based controllers, based on the piecewise constant …

Modular soft robots (MSRs) exhibit greater potential for sophisticated tasks compared with
single-module robots. However, the modular structure incurs the complexity of accurate …

As a result of inherent flexibility and structural compliance, continuum robots have great
potential in practical applications and are attracting more and more attentions. However …

Soft robots have been leveraged in considerable areas like surgery, rehabilitation, and
bionics due to their softness, flexibility, and safety. However, it is challenging to produce two …

Taking advantage of their inherent dexterity, robotic arms are competent in completing many
