The intrinsic compliance of soft robots provides safety, a natural adaptation to its
environment, allows to absorb shocks, and protects them against mechanical impacts …

Graphene is a unique and attractive energy material because of its atom-thick two-
dimensional structure and excellent properties. Graphene sheets are also mechanically …

Pneumatic artificial muscles (PAMs) are soft and flexible linear pneumatic actuators which
produce human muscle like actuation. Due to these properties, the muscle actuators have …

Morphing, understood as the ability to undergo pronounced shape adaptations to optimally
respond to a diversity of operational conditions, has been singled out as a future direction in …

Soft robots offer advantages over rigid robots in adaptability, robustness to uncertainty, and
human safety. However, realizing soft actuators for these robots is still a challenge. We …

Lightweight, compliant actuators are particularly desirable in safety-conscious robotic
systems intended for interaction with humans. Pneumatic artificial muscles (PAMs) exhibit …

This paper proposes a novel control system combining adaptively feed-forward neural
controller and PID controller to control the joint-angle position of the SCARA parallel robot …

Polymer materials based artificial muscles have the properties of being soft, lightweight, and
flexible which are similar to the nature muscular actuators. In our previous study, we have …

Pneumatic artificial muscles (PAMs) are well known for their excellent actuator
characteristics, including high specific work, specific power, and power density. Recent …

Soft robotics is a fast-emerging interdisciplinary field combining mechatronics, control,
material science and biomimetics. With their unique inherent compliance feature, soft robots …
