Nature endows numerous organisms with the ability to realize their basic physiological
activities through stimulus-responsive actuation. Inspired by these interesting biological …

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 …

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

Biological organisms such as the octopus can reconfigure their shape and properties to
perform diverse tasks. However, soft machines struggle to achieve complex configurations …

In the past few years, soft robotics has rapidly become an emerging research topic, opening
new possibilities for addressing real‐world tasks. Perception can enable robots to effectively …

The proliferation of soft robotics research worldwide has brought substantial achievements
