Many soft robots are composed of soft fluidic actuators that are fabricated from silicone
rubbers and use hydraulic or pneumatic actuation. The strong nonlinearities and complex …

This paper presents a critical review of the nonlinear dynamics of hyperelastic structures.
Hyperelastic structures often undergo large strains when subjected to external time …

Continuous and controlled shape morphing is essential for soft machines to conform, grasp,
and move while interacting safely with their surroundings. Shape morphing can be achieved …

Metamaterials can be designed to contain functional gradients with negative Poisson's ratio
(NPR) that have counterintuitive behavior compared with monolithic materials. These NPR …

In the field of soft robotics, current materials face challenges related to their load capacity,
durability, and sustainability. Innovative solutions are required to address these problems …

Reconfigurable morphing surfaces provide new opportunities for advanced human-machine
interfaces and bio-inspired robotics. Morphing into arbitrary surfaces on demand requires a …

In this paper we introduce the first robust control for continuum robots that are modelled by
Cosserat Rod theory. Constituted from deformable elastic backbones, continuum robots are …

Soft bending actuators, as one of the most important components of soft robotics, have
attracted significantly increasing attention due to their robustness, compliance, inherent …

Significantly improving the load capacity of soft grippers while taking into account their
flexibility is a challenge that must be addressed to promote their application in more fields …

The soft robot is a kind of continuum robot, which is mainly made of soft elastic material or
malleable material. It can be continuously deformed in a limited space, and can obtain …
