The use of simulators in robotics research is widespread, underpinning the majority of recent
advances in the field. There are now more options available to researchers than ever before …

Soft robotics and its related technologies enable robot abilities in several robotics domains
including, but not exclusively related to, manipulation, manufacturing, human–robot …

Researchers are developing a new class of continuum robots characterized by tip extension,
significant length change, and directional control. In this article, we call these vine robots …

In the last few decades, soft robotics technologies have challenged conventional
approaches by introducing new, compliant bodies to the world of rigid robots. These …

Soft robots are capable of inherently safer interactions with their environment than rigid
robots since they can mechanically deform in response to unanticipated stimuli. However …

We present the basic module of a modular continuum arm (soft compliant manipulator for
broad applications (SIMBA)). SIMBA is a robotic arm with a hybrid structure, namely a …

Robotics competitions stimulate the next generation of cutting edge robotics solutions and
innovative technologies. The World Robot Summit (WRS) Industrial Assembly challenge …

Over the last decade, soft continuum arms (SCAs) have successfully demonstrated the
compliance and dexterity needed to operate in unstructured environments and handle …

In the field of soft robotics, knowledge of material science is becoming more and more
important. However, many researchers have a background in only one of both domains. To …

The inherent compliance of soft mobile robots makes them a safe option for interaction with
humans and fragile environments. To expand their possibilities around our daily life, it is …
