Soft robots' flexibility and compliance give them the potential to outperform traditional rigid-
bodied robots while performing multiple tasks in unexpectedly changing environments and …

Soft robotics is a growing field of research, focusing on constructing motor‐less robots from
highly compliant materials, some are similar to those found in living organisms. Soft robotics …

Continuum robots are not constructed with discrete joints but, instead, change shape and
position their tip by flexing along their entire length. Their narrow curvilinear shape makes …

From a functional standpoint, classic robots are not at all similar to biological systems. If
compared with rigid robots, animals' bodies look overly redundant, imprecise, and weak …

Herein, recent advances, current limitations, and open challenges in the design, modeling,
and control of continuum robots are discussed. Thanks to their lean bodies, these robots …

The robotics community has seen an exponential growth in the level of complexity of the
theoretical tools presented for the modeling of soft robotics devices. Different solutions have …

Dynamic control of soft robotic manipulators is an open problem yet to be well explored and
analyzed. Most of the current applications of soft robotic manipulators utilize static or quasi …

Embodied intelligence (intelligence that requires and leverages a physical body) is a well-
known paradigm in soft robotics, but its mathematical description and consequent …

The development of space robots is vital to broadening human cognitive boundaries. Space
robots have been deployed in space science experiments, extravehicular operations, and …

In the field of robotics, soft robots have been showing great potential in the areas of medical
care, education, service, rescue, exploration, detection, and wearable devices due to their …
