Soft robotic manipulators are continuum robots made of soft materials and flexible
components. The goal of soft robotic manipulators research is to enable these manipulators …

In the field of robotics, soft robots have been showing great potential in the areas of medical
care, education, service, rescue, exploration, detection, and wearable devices due to their …

The past few decades have seen substantial growth in Additive Manufacturing (AM)
technologies. However, this growth has mainly been process-driven. The evolution of …

The 20th century's robotic systems have been made from stiff materials, and much of the

Abstract Three‐dimensional (3D) bioprinting technology offers great potential in the
treatment of tissue and organ damage. Conventional approaches generally rely on a large …

Most devices for single-site or natural orifice transluminal surgery are very application
specific and, hence, capable of effectively carrying out specific surgical tasks only. However …

The last few decades have seen rapid growth in additive manufacturing (AM) technologies.
AM has implemented a novel method of production in design, manufacture, and delivery to …

The soft robotics field is changing the way people think, build, interact, and most importantly
perceive robots. Robots have long been perceived as machines made of metals that their …

This paper describes and discusses the history and state of the art of continuous backbone
robot manipulators. Also known as continuum manipulators, these robots, which resemble …

In most supply chains, the application of additive manufacturing (AM) is still far from
common. However, various industries ranging from aerospace to consumer goods are …
