The aim of this article is to propose a bio-inspired morphological classification for soft robots
based on an extended review process. The morphology of living beings that inspire soft …

Although snake-like robots are only rarely used in real applications, numerous designs have
been proposed by different researchers. In addition to the capability of gras** objects by …

One advantage of soft robots to conventional robots is their continuous deformation, which
makes them highly adaptable to their surroundings. To describe the kinematics of soft robots …

Fibre-reinforced soft robots are often considered in the design of fluid elastomer actuators, to
counter ballooning and potential bursting when exposed to high levels of pressure. They …

The design of many pneumatic soft actuators is based on multiple chambers in parallel
alignment. The Cosserat beam theory is an established technique for modeling this kind of …

The key feature of soft robots is the use of soft materials. On the one hand, the softness is
advantageous to fulfill tasks for which adaptability is important. On the other hand, the …

Soft robotics is a novel field that has gained importance in recent years. The idea in soft
robotics is to use materials with a softness comparable to human tissue. With these …

Designing as well as modeling is challenging in soft robotics. In this study, we propose
thinking both topics together. This can be done by already taking the modeling into account …
