Most soft robots are pneumatically actuated and fabricated by molding and assembling
processes that typically require many manual operations and limit complexity. Furthermore …

Soft robots are, due to their softness, inherently safe and adapt well to unstructured
environments. However, they are prone to various damage types. Self‐healing polymers …

This article reviews soft pneumatic actuators (SPAs) that are manufactured entirely via
additive manufacturing methods. These actuators are known as four-dimensional (4D) …

Robotics and automation in the food industry is not as widely applied as in other industries,
such as automotive and electrical industries, due to the large variations in the shape and …

Gras** and manipulation are fundamental ways for many creatures to interact with their
environments. Different morphologies and gras** methods of “grippers” are highly …

Abstract Multi-material three-dimensional (3D) printing has provided the possibility of direct
3D printing of soft actuators with high complexity and functionality in a fast and easy …

This article presents a versatile soft robotic gripper system whereby its fingers can be
reconfigured into different poses such as scoop, pinch, and claw. This allows the gripper to …

The autonomous manipulation of objects by robotic grippers has made significant strides in
enhancing both human daily life and various industries. Within a brief span, a multitude of …
