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 …

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 …

Soft pneumatic actuators (SPAs) are found in mobile robots, assistive wearable devices, and
rehabilitative technologies. While soft actuators have been one of the most crucial elements …

The ocean and human activities related to the sea are under increasing pressure due to
climate change, widespread pollution, and growth of the offshore energy sector. Data, in …

The intuitive and effective haptic feedback interaction is essential for human–machine
interfaces. However, most current commercial haptic feedback solutions are rigid, simplex …

The latest wearable technologies demand more intuitive and sophisticated interfaces for
communication, sensing, and feedback closer to the body. Evidently, such interfaces require …

Object manipulation and fluid, goal-directed, movements require sensory information for
effective execution. Amputees lose this intrinsic feedback when controlling their artificial …

Humans can leverage physical interaction to teach robot arms. As the human kinesthetically
guides the robot through demonstrations, the robot learns the desired task. While prior works …

Control and stability of flexible and soft robotic systems (FSRS), which have complex
geometry and experience desirable and undesirable deformations, are of major concern …

Soft robotics is a recent trend in engineering that seeks to create machines that are soft,
compliant, and capable of withstanding damage, wear and high stress. Soft pneumatic …
