Robotics has aroused huge attention since the 1950s. Irrespective of the uniqueness that
industrial applications exhibit, conventional rigid robots have displayed noticeable …

In recent years, soft robotics has developed considerably, especially since the year 2018
when it became a hot field among current research topics. The attention that this field …

This paper investigates the model-based nonlinear control of a class of soft continuum
pneumatic manipulators that bend due to pressurization of their internal chambers and that …

Soft material‐based robots, known for their safety and compliance, are expected to play an
irreplaceable role in human‐robot collaboration. However, this expectation is far from real …

Previous rolling soft robots have difficulty in balancing the locomotion speed with energy
efficiency and have limited terrain adaptability. This work proposes a rolling soft robot driven …

Soft actuators have extensive applications in operations, are generally made of elastomers,
and generate large deformation. It makes accurately predicting their deformation behavior …

A general pneumatic soft gripper is proposed in this paper. Combined with the torque
balance theory, the mathematical theoretical model of bending deformation of soft gripper is …

Purpose Flexible mechanical gripper has better safety and adaptability than a rigid
mechanical hand. At present, there are few soft grippers for small objects on a millimeter …

In recent years, soft robotics has developed considerably, especially since the year 2018
when it became a hot field among current research topics. The attention that this field …

Soft robots show remarkable benefits over conventional rigid robots due to their high energy
density and other factors. We propose a circular soft robot integrating the control system …
