The physical characteristics of animals' bodies are substantially different from those of
classic robots. Elastic tendons, ligaments, and muscles enable animals to robustly interact …

Robotic hands have long strived to reach the performance of human hands. The physical
complexity and extraordinary capabilities of the human hand, in terms of sensing, actuation …

We described a tensegrity robotic fish and detailed its overall structure, stiffness, and
mechatronics. The main flexible structure of the robotic fish body was composed with a …

This work presents a novel soft actuator with a 3D-printed elastic body based on a fused-
deposition-modeling technique and with tendon actuation based on flexible shafts, which …

In this work, we propose a new kind of soft–rigid hybrid actuator composed mainly of soft
chambers and rigid frames. Compared with the well-known fiber-reinforced soft actuators …

In this paper, we present a compliant robotic gripper, Edgy-2, with 4-DOF dexterity, enabling
four grasping modes: parallel grasping, power grasping, finger-tip pinch and fully-actuated …

It is highly desired yet challenging to construct soft robots resembling the dexterous motor
skills and powerful tactile sensations of human hands. Herein, a bioinspired design to create …

The compliance and deformability of soft robotics allow human–machine interactions in a
safe manner without the need of sophisticated control systems inherent in rigid-body robotic …

The established soft pneumatic grippers have the benefit of flexible and compliant gripping,
but they cannot withstand lateral loads, due to the low stiffness of soft material. This paper …

The seahorse's tail is renowned for its exceptional bending ability and strength owing to its
unique biological structures. Inspired by this, this letter presents a novel modular cable …
