Soft robots are capable of mimicking the complex motion of animals. Soft robotic systems are
defined by their compliance, which allows for continuous and often responsive localized …

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 …

The emerging field of soft robotics makes use of many classes of materials including metals,
low glass transition temperature (Tg) plastics, and high Tg elastomers. Dependent on the …

Hydrogels are promising starting materials for biomimetic soft robots as they are intrinsically
soft and hold properties analogous to nature's organic parts. However, the restrictive mold …

Abstract Machines made of soft materials bridge life sciences and engineering. Advances in
soft materials have led to skin-like sensors and muscle-like actuators for soft robots and …

The 20th century's robotic systems have been made from stiff materials, and much of the
developments have pursued ever more accurate and dynamic robots, which thrive in …

We introduce a vacuum-powered soft pneumatic actuator (V-SPA) that leverages a single,
shared vacuum power supply and enables complex soft robotic systems with multiple …
