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 …

This paper focuses on the recent development of soft pneumatic actuators for soft robotics
over the past few years, concentrating on the following four categories: control systems …

Pneumatically actuated soft robots have recently shown promise for their ability to adapt to
their environment. Previously, these robots have been controlled with electromechanical …

Soft tubular actuators can be widely found both in nature and in engineering applications.
The benefits of tubular actuators include (i) multiple actuation modes such as contraction …

Robotic artificial muscles are a subset of artificial muscles that are capable of producing
biologically inspired motions useful for robot systems, ie, large power-to-weight ratios …

Soft robots are often inspired from biological systems which consist of soft materials or are
actuated by electrically activated materials. There are several advantages of soft robots …

Collecting in shallow water (water depth:~ 30 m) is an emerging field that requires robotics
for replacing human divers. Soft robots have several promising features (eg, safe interaction …

Conventionally, engineers have employed rigid materials to fabricate precise, predictable
robotic systems, which are easily modelled as rigid members connected at discrete joints …

软体机器人由软材料加工而成, 自身可连续变形, 与刚性机器人相比具有更高的柔顺性,
