In the 21st century, robotics has been revolutionized by a new perspective: robots made of
soft materials mimicking nature show several advantages compared to hard robot …

Soft manipulator is a kind of special manipulator that uses soft material or flexible structure to
perform manipulation task under the specific drive mode inspired by the soft tissue. It is …

Soft robot arms offer safety and adaptability due to their passive compliance, but this
compliance typically limits their payload capacity and prevents them from performing many …

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 …

The focus of the research community in the soft robotic field has been on develo**
innovative materials, but the design of control strategies applicable to these robotic platforms …

Continuum robots have become more popular recently due to their scalable dexterity and
mobility. However, they may suffer from issues like insufficient stiffness because they are …

Soft robots are inherently safe and comply readily to their environment. They are therefore
exciting for applications like search and rescue or medicine, which involve a high degree of …

The soft capabilities of biological appendages like the arms of Octopus vulgaris and
elephants' trunks have inspired roboticists to develop their robotic equivalents. Although …

This article introduces a machine-learning-based approach for closed loop kinematic control
of continuum manipulators in the task space. For this purpose, we propose a unique …

This paper reviews the current status of soft robots in biomedical field. Soft robots are made
of materials that have comparable modulus of elasticity to that of biological systems. Several …
