Purpose Soft robotics is currently a rapidly growing new field of robotics whereby the robots
are fundamentally soft and elastically deformable. Fabrication of soft robots is currently …

This review provides an outlook on some of the significant research work done on printed
and flexible sensors. Printed sensors fabricated on flexible platforms such as paper, plastic …

Hydrogel-polymer hybrids have been widely used for various applications such as
biomedical devices and flexible electronics. However, the current technologies constrain the …

The soft robotics field is changing the way people think, build, interact, and most importantly
perceive robots. Robots have long been perceived as machines made of metals that their …

This article reviews soft pneumatic actuators (SPAs) that are manufactured entirely via
additive manufacturing methods. These actuators are known as four-dimensional (4D) …

Soft robotics is a recent and rapidly growing field of research that encompasses emerging
advances in functional materials, fabrication, modelling, and performance control with …

In the 21st century, robotics has been revolutionized by a new perspective: robots made of
soft materials mimicking nature show several advantages compared to hard robot …

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 …

A main challenge in the additive manufacturing (AM) field is the possibility to create
structures with embedded actuators and sensors: addressing this requirement would lead to …

Building on the recent progress of four-dimensional (4D) printing to produce dynamic
structures, this study aimed to bring this technology to the next level by introducing control …
