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 …

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 …

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 …

The octopus is a marine animal whose body has no rigid structures. It has eight arms
composed of a peculiar muscular structure, named a muscular hydrostat. The octopus arms …

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 …

Nowadays, the most adopted model for the design and control of soft robots is the piecewise
constant curvature model, with its consolidated benefits and drawbacks. In this work, an …

Soft robotics is a challenging and promising branch of robotics. It can drive significant
improvements across various fields of traditional robotics, and contribute solutions to basic …

The goal of this work is to develop a soft-robotic manipulation system that is capable of
autonomous, dynamic, and safe interactions with humans and its environment. First, we …

The solution of the inverse kinematics problem of soft manipulators is essential to generate
paths in the task space. The inverse kinematics problem of constant curvature or piecewise …
