The deep ocean, Earth's untouched expanse, presents immense challenges for exploration
due to its extreme pressure, temperature, and darkness. Unlike traditional marine robots that …

Herein, recent advances, current limitations, and open challenges in the design, modeling,
and control of continuum robots are discussed. Thanks to their lean bodies, these robots …

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 …

Soft robots promise improved safety and capability over rigid robots when deployed near
humans or in complex, delicate, and dynamic environments. However, infinite degrees of …

From a functional standpoint, classic robots are not at all similar to biological systems. If
compared with rigid robots, animals' bodies look overly redundant, imprecise, and weak …

Soft robots have recently attracted increased attention because their characteristics of low‐
cost fabrication, durability, and deformability make them uniquely suited for applications in …

Perceiving and handling deformable objects is an integral part of everyday life for humans.
Automating tasks such as food handling, garment sorting, or assistive dressing requires …

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 …

Soft robots have garnered interest for real-world applications because of their intrinsic safety
embedded at the material level. These robots use deformable materials capable of shape …

Flexible electronics such as tactile cognitive sensors have been broadly adopted in soft
robotic manipulators to enable human-skin-mimetic perception. To achieve appropriate …
