Soft robots are capable of mimicking the complex motion of animals. Soft robotic systems are
defined by their compliance, which allows for continuous and often responsive localized …

The proliferation of soft robotics research worldwide has brought substantial achievements
in terms of principles, models, technologies, techniques, and prototypes of soft robots. Such …

The octopus is an interesting model for the development of soft robotics, due to its high
deformability, dexterity and rich behavioural repertoire. To investigate the principles of …

Continuum robot arms, with their hyper-redundant continuously deformable bodies, show
great promise in applications deemed impossible for traditional rigid robot arms with discrete …

Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is one of the most challenging techniques for robot
designers due to the limited size of access points, the high miniaturization level, and the …

This paper mainly focuses on various types of robots driven or actuated by shape memory
alloy (SMA) element in the last decade which has created the potential functionality of SMA …

Soft robotics requires technologies that are capable of generating forces even though the
bodies are composed of very light, flexible and soft elements. A soft actuation mechanism …

Soft robot arms remain challenging to model effectively. The arm's primary deformation is
bending, coupled with extension or compression, but the strains experienced can be high …

The aim of this article is to propose a bio-inspired morphological classification for soft robots
based on an extended review process. The morphology of living beings that inspire soft …

Since the revolution of soft robotic technology, researchers are focused on the development
of the soft robotic bodies which can replicate the motion and the functions of biological …
