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 …

The intrinsic compliance of soft robots provides safety, a natural adaptation to its
environment, allows to absorb shocks, and protects them against mechanical impacts …

Soft robots are, due to their softness, inherently safe and adapt well to unstructured
environments. However, they are prone to various damage types. Self‐healing polymers …

Undulatory swimming represents an ideal behavior to investigate locomotion control and the
role of the underlying central and peripheral components in the spinal cord. Many vertebrate …

Deep reinforcement learning has produced many success stories in recent years. Some
example fields in which these successes have taken place include mathematics, games …

INTRODUCTION Since the 1980s, the design and synthesis of molecular machines has
been identified as a grand challenge for molecular engineering. Robots are an important …

Robotic machining centers offer diverse advantages: large operation reach with large
reorientation capability, and a low cost, to name a few. Many challenges have slowed down …

Inspired by the compliance found in many organisms, soft robots are made almost entirely
out of flexible, soft material, making them suitable for applications in uncertain, dynamic task …

Biological organisms achieve robust high-level behaviours by combining and coordinating
stochastic low-level components,–. By contrast, most current robotic systems comprise either …

Many organisms, including various species of spiders and caterpillars, change their shape
to switch gaits and adapt to different environments. Recent technological advances, ranging …
