Soft robotics is a rapidly evolving field where robots are fabricated using highly deformable
materials and usually follow a bioinspired design. Their high dexterity and safety make them …

Soft robots have garnered interest for real-world applications because of their intrinsic safety
embedded at the material level. These robots use deformable materials capable of shape …

Natural living systems such as wood frogs develop tissues composed of active hydrogels
with cryoprotectants to survive in cold environments. Recently, hydrogels have been …

Soft robots have recently attracted increased attention because their characteristics of low‐
cost fabrication, durability, and deformability make them uniquely suited for applications in …

Many soft robots are composed of soft fluidic actuators that are fabricated from silicone
rubbers and use hydraulic or pneumatic actuation. The strong nonlinearities and complex …

Medical robots are invaluable players in non‐pharmaceutical treatment of disabilities.
Particularly, using prosthetic and rehabilitation devices with human–machine interfaces can …

Engineering and manufacturing processes and systems designs involve many challenges,
such as dynamism, chaotic behaviours, and complexity. Of late, the arrival of big data, high …

In this survey, we present the current status on robots performing manipulation tasks that
require varying contact with the environment, such that the robot must either implicitly or …

Endowed with the expected visions for future surgery, minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has
become one of the most rapid developing areas in modern surgery. Soft robotics, which …

Cloud computing has rapidly emerged as a model for delivering Internet-based utility
computing services. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) is one of the most important and …
