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 …

Advances in soft robotics, materials science, and stretchable electronics have enabled rapid
progress in soft grippers. Here, a critical overview of soft robotic grippers is presented …

An artificial muscle capable of shape programmability, deformation-locking capacity without
needing continuous external energy, and self-sensing capability is highly desirable yet …

Soft robots have the appealing advantages of being highly flexible and adaptive to complex
environments. However, the low‐stiffness nature of the constituent materials makes soft …

Soft structures and actuation allow robots, conventionally consisting of rigid components, to
perform more compliant, adaptive interactions similar to living creatures. Although numerous …

Endowed with the expected visions for future surgery, minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has
become one of the most rapid developing areas in modern surgery. Soft robotics, which …

Soft actuators can be classified into five categories: tendon-driven actuators, electroactive
polymers, shape-memory materials, soft fluidic actuators (SFAs), and hybrid actuators. The …

This article describes a novel design of bioinspired soft robotic fingers based upon hybrid
jamming principle—integrated layer jamming and particle jamming. The finger combines a …

In this review paper, we focus on the 3D printing technologies that consist of the extruding of
fluid material in lines to form structures for electro-and biomechanical applications. Our …

Compared with traditional rigid robots, soft robots have high flexibility, low stiffness, and
adaptability to unstructured environments, and as such have great application potential in …
