Trunk-like continuum robots have wide applications in manipulation and locomotion. In
particular, trunk-like soft arms exhibit high dexterity and adaptability very similar to the …

The fluid‐transportation functions based on the volume‐regulating behavior of the chamber‐
like organs inspire the development of artificial organs. Due to the intrinsic compliance of …

Deployment techniques devised from compliant joints, shape memory materials, and inertial
effects from rotational motion can be employed in deployable structures to realize a time …

Continuum robots have increasingly attracted attention from the scholars in the last two
decades, owing to their distinct features of hyper-redundant degrees of freedom (DOF) …

Earthworms have entirely soft bodies mainly composed of circular and longitudinal muscle
bundles but can handle the complexity of unstructured environments with exceptional …

This study proposes a bidirectional double-spring pneumatic artificial muscle (PAM) with
inductive self-sensing for wearable robotic devices. The actuator structure, composed of …

Elastomers with hyperelastic deformation bring prosperity to soft robotics, especially in
constituting fluidic actuators, largely due to the merit of large deformation and airtightness …

In this paper, we propose a novel soft origami tripod structure and mechanism capable of
multimodal motions based on electrohydraulic actuators. The tripod structure consists of top …

The tubular Miura-ori (TMO) structure has attracted much attention due to its excellent
folding capability and rich application diversity. However, the existing theoretical research …

Soft robots are known for their adaptability in unstructured environments, providing the
flexibility required for complex tasks. Existing designs are often tailored explicitly for …
