The proliferation of soft robotics research worldwide has brought substantial achievements
in terms of principles, models, technologies, techniques, and prototypes of soft robots. Such …

Soft robotics and its related technologies enable robot abilities in several robotics domains
including, but not exclusively related to, manipulation, manufacturing, human–robot …

This paper presents a literature survey documenting the evolution of continuum robots over
the past two decades (1999–present). Attention is paid to bioinspired soft robots with respect …

The octopus is an interesting model for the development of soft robotics, due to its high
deformability, dexterity and rich behavioural repertoire. To investigate the principles of …

Robots that can easily interact with humans and move through natural environments are
becoming increasingly essential as assistive devices in the home, office and hospital. These …

Robotic systems capable of aquatic movement has increased exploitation in recent years
due to the diverse range of missions that can be performed in otherwise hostile …

The need for fast and accurate analysis of soft robots calls for reduced order models (ROM).
Among these, the relative reduction of strain-based ROMs follows the discretization of the …

The collection of delicate deep-sea specimens of biological interest with remotely operated
vehicle (ROV) industrial grippers and tools is a long and expensive procedure. Industrial …

In order to increase the compatibility between underwater robots and the underwater
environment and inspired by the coconut octopus's underwater bipedal walking, a method …

Can a robotic gripper only operate when attached to a robotic arm? The application space of
the traditional gripper is limited by the robotic arm. Giving robot grippers the ability to move …
