This article explores the challenges of continuum and magnetic soft robotics for medical
applications, extending from model development to an interdisciplinary perspective. First, we …

Recently, hard-magnetic microparticles were embedded into soft matrix to manufacture a
new type of magnetoactive soft materials, ie hard-magnetic soft (HMS) materials. Due to the …

Hard-magnetic soft (HMS) materials are soft active materials prepared by embedding the
hard-magnetic particles (eg NdFeB) into soft elastomer, which can be actuated by applied …

Magnetorheological elastomers are active materials which can be actuated by the applied
magnetic field. Hard magnetic soft (HMS) materials, a type of magnetorheological …

Soft robots have attracted increasing attention due to their excellent versatility and broad
applications. In this article, we present a minimally designed soft crawling robot (SCR) …

The main purpose of this work is to develop a three-dimensional (3D) viscoelastic rod model
for hard-magnetic soft (HMS) rods under large deformation which are widely used active …

Soft robots have garnered considerable attention recently due to their versatility,
compliance, and myriad applications. However, the inherent low stiffness of soft robots also …

A mathematical model for the inverse kinematics and shape modeling of continuum robots is
presented in this paper. This method simplifies the forward kinematics derivation process by …

Regulating the surface instability of thin film/substrate structures has been successfully
applied to prepare new ductile electronic devices. However, such electronic devices need to …

Classical yield criterions cannot be applied directly to Cosserat continua since the strain
tensor and stress tensor in Cosserat continua are asymmetric. In this work, the strain tensor …
