Purpose of review In this review, we briefly summarize the numerical methods commonly
used for the nonlinear dynamic analysis of soft robotic systems. The underlying mechanical …

The research on biomimetic robots, especially soft robots with flexible materials as the main
structure, is constantly being explored. It integrates multi-disciplinary content, such as …

From biological organs to soft robotics, highly deformable materials are essential
components of natural and engineered systems. These highly deformable materials can …

Over the years, efforts in bioinspired soft robotics have led to mobile systems that emulate
features of natural animal locomotion. This includes combining mechanisms from multiple …

We explore the idea of robotic mechanisms that can shift between soft and rigid states, with
the long-term goal of creating robots that marry the flexibility and robustness of soft robots …

Exploring the design and control strategies of soft robots through simulation is highly
attractive due to its cost-effectiveness. Although many existing models (eg, finite element …

Gas identification plays a critical role in characterizing our (chemical) environment. It allows
to warn of hazardous gases and may help to diagnose medical conditions. Miniaturized gas …
