Conventionally, engineers have employed rigid materials to fabricate precise, predictable
robotic systems, which are easily modelled as rigid members connected at discrete joints …

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 …

A pneumatically powered, fully untethered mobile soft robot is described. Composites
consisting of silicone elastomer, polyaramid fabric, and hollow glass microspheres were …

Roboticists have begun to design biologically inspired robots with soft or partially soft
bodies, which have the potential to be more robust and adaptable, and safer for human …

Soft robotics is a growing area of research which utilizes the compliance and adaptability of
soft structures to develop highly adaptive robotics for soft interactions. One area in which soft …

This review summarizes recent advances in the area of tribology based on the outcome of a
Lorentz Center workshop surveying various physical, chemical and mechanical phenomena …

The advent of soft robotics has led to great advancements in robots, wearables, and even
manufacturing processes by employing entirely soft‐bodied systems that interact safely with …

Soft robots have received an increasing attention due to their advantages of high flexibility
and safety for human operators but the fabrication is a challenge. Recently, 3D printing has …

Soft robots are, due to their softness, inherently safe and adapt well to unstructured
environments. However, they are prone to various damage types. Self‐healing polymers …

This work provides approaches to designing and fabricating soft fluidic elastomer robots.
That is, three viable actuator morphologies composed entirely from soft silicone rubber are …
