Soft robots undergo large nonlinear spatial deformations due to both inherent actuation and
external loading. The physics underlying these deformations is complex, and often requires …

Soft continuum robots (CRs) can be potentially applied in minimally invasive surgery due to
their slender continuously deformable bodies. However, miniaturization, dexterity, and …

The shortage of qualified human labor is a key challenge facing farmers, limiting profit
margins and preventing the adoption of sustainable and diversified agroecosystems, such …

Soft continuum arms (SCAs) have a large workspace, dexterity, and adaptability, but at the
cost of complex design construction highlighted by concatenating several serial segments …

Continuum parallel robots (CPRs) comprise several flexible beams connected in parallel to
an end-effector. They combine the inherent compliance of continuum robots with the high …

In this article, a new algorithm for the computation of workspace boundaries of continuum
parallel robots (CPRs) is proposed. State-of-the-art techniques are mainly based on time …

Soft Continuum manipulators are increasingly popular because of their ability to interact
safely with humans, maneuver around obstacles and enable cost-effective operation. In this …

Over the last decade, soft continuum arms (SCAs) have successfully demonstrated the
compliance and dexterity needed to operate in unstructured environments and handle …

Pneumatically actuated soft continuum manipulators (SCMs) are constructed by combining
several extending or contracting fiber reinforced elastomeric enclosure (FREE) actuators in …

The paper aims to investigate the finite bending of hyperelastic beams composed of
transversely isotropic soft materials. The constitutive laws are obtained by including the …
