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 …

Artificial muscles are the core components of the smart and interactive soft robotic systems,
providing the capabilities in shape morphing, manipulation, and mobility. Intense research …

Inspired by living organisms, soft robots are developed from intrinsically compliant materials,
enabling continuous motions that mimic animal and vegetal movement. In soft robots, the …

Three basic deformation modes of an object (bending, twisting, and contraction/extension)
along with their various combinations and delicate controls lead to diverse locomotion. As a …

Advanced sensation and actuation abilities of various living organisms in nature have
inspired researchers to design bioinspired self‐sensing soft actuators. However, the majority …

Mimicking biological neuromuscular systems' sensory motion requires the unification of
sensing and actuation in a singular artificial muscle material, which must not only actuate but …

Research in soft matter engineering has introduced new approaches in robotics and
wearable devices that can interface with the human body and adapt to unpredictable …

This description of “soft robotics” is not intended to be a conventional review, in the sense of
a comprehensive technical summary of a develo** field. Rather, its objective is to describe …

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 …

Artificial muscles hold promise for safe and powerful actuation for myriad common machines
and robots. However, the design, fabrication, and implementation of artificial muscles are …
