Soft robotics is an emerging field that leverages the compliant nature of materials to control
shape and behaviour. However, designing soft robots presents a challenge, as they do not …

This paper demonstrates the effectiveness of a hierarchical design framework in developing
environment-specific behaviour for fluid-actuated soft robots. Our proposed framework …

Most existing soft robotic actuators require multiple chambers to achieve multi-directional
bending. In this paper, we present the design, fabrication, and analysis of a novel circular …

The recent advancements in machine learning techniques have steered us towards the data-
driven design of products. Motivated by this objective, the present study proposes an …

This paper introduced a comparison method for three explicitly defined intermediate
encoding methods in generative design for two-dimensional soft robotic units. This study …

Soft robotics has created a paradigm shift within robotic grasping and manipulation. Rather
than using complex control policies and path planning methods to undertake grasp objects …

Soft pneumatic actuators (SPAs) produce motions for soft robots with simple pressure input,
however, they require to be appropriately designed to fit the target application. Available …

1.1 Background Soft robots are made of flexible materials like silicone, making them unique
and versatile. These robots are gentle enough to interact with humans and delicate objects …
