During the last decades, smart tactile sensing systems based on different sensing
techniques have been developed due to their high potential in industry and biomedical …

Cardiac diseases are recognized as the leading cause of mortality, hospitalization, and
medical prescription globally. The gold standard for the treatment of coronary artery stenosis …

This paper presents the concept design of a modular soft manipulator for minimally invasive
surgery. Unlike traditional surgical manipulators based on metallic steerable needles …

Marine mammals relying on tactile perception for hunting are able to achieve a remarkably
high prey capture rate without visual or acoustic perception. Here, a self-powered …

There is an emerging trend toward soft robotics due to its extended manipulation capabilities
compared to traditionally rigid robot links, showing promise for an extended applicability to …

This paper introduces a pose-sensing system for soft robot arms integrating a set of
macrobend stretch sensors. The macrobend sensory design in this study consists of optical …

The shape of soft a manipulator cannot be sensed by the operator directly, when applied to
rescue of mine disaster, science exploration, or minimally invasive surgery due to the narrow …

This paper explores a new hybrid actuation principle combining pneumatic and tendon-
driven actuators for a soft robotic manipulator. The fusion of these two actuation principles …

Over the past few decades, tactile sensors have become an emerging field of research in
both academia and industry. Recent advances have demonstrated application of tactile …

Sensing the interaction force in robot-assisted manipulation draws lots of attentions in
related research fields. In order to protect the manipulation objects and to build the real-time …
