The growing interest in soft robots comes from the new possibilities offered by these systems
to cope with problems that cannot be addressed by robots built from rigid bodies. Many …

Compared to traditional rigid-bodied robots, soft robots are constructed using physically
flexible/elastic bodies and electronics to mimic nature and enable novel applications in …

Abstract The Industrial Revolution can be termed as the transformation of traditional
industrial practices into new techniques dominated by the technologies available at that …

This study examines a biology-inspired approach of using reconfigurable articulation to
reduce the control requirement for soft robotic arms. We construct a robotic arm by …

In the medical field and in soft robotics, flexible devices are required for safe human
interaction, while rigid structures are required to withstand the force application and …

For robots to be useful for real-world applications, they must be safe around humans, be
adaptable to their environment, and operate in an untethered manner. Soft robots could …

Grasping is an important characteristic of robots in interacting with humans and the
environment. Due to the inherent compliance of soft grippers, they can easily adapt to novel …

Compliant continuum robots (CCRs) have slender and elastic bodies. Compared with a
traditional serial robot, they have more degrees of freedom and can deform their flexible …

Soft robots have been investigated for various applications due to their inherently superior
deformability and flexibility compared to rigid-link robots. However, these robots struggle to …

Stroke is one of the leading causes of disability worldwide: post-stroke disabilities affect the
upper and lower limbs, significantly undermining a subject's autonomy in the Activities of …
