Soft robotics is a rapidly evolving field where robots are fabricated using highly deformable
materials and usually follow a bioinspired design. Their high dexterity and safety make them …

This paper focuses on the recent development of soft pneumatic actuators for soft robotics
over the past few years, concentrating on the following four categories: control systems …

Soft robotic devices have desirable traits for applications in minimally invasive surgery (MIS),
but many interdisciplinary challenges remain unsolved. To understand current technologies …

Soft robots are often inspired from biological systems which consist of soft materials or are
actuated by electrically activated materials. There are several advantages of soft robots …

Conventionally, engineers have employed rigid materials to fabricate precise, predictable
robotic systems, which are easily modelled as rigid members connected at discrete joints …

Soft machines typically exhibit slow locomotion speed and low manipulation strength
because of intrinsic limitations of soft materials. Here, we present a generic design principle …

Soft robotics is a growing area of research which utilizes the compliance and adaptability of
soft structures to develop highly adaptive robotics for soft interactions. One area in which soft …

The need for building robots with soft materials emerged recently from considerations of the
limitations of service robots in negotiating natural environments, from observation of the role …

The 20th century's robotic systems have been made from stiff materials, and much of the
developments have pursued ever more accurate and dynamic robots, which thrive in …

Recently, flexible robotic systems are developed to enhance minimally invasive
interventions on internal organs located in confined areas of human body. These surgical …
