Advances in soft robotics, materials science, and stretchable electronics have enabled rapid
progress in soft grippers. Here, a critical overview of soft robotic grippers is presented …

Soft robotics is a rapidly evolving field where robots are fabricated using highly deformable
materials and usually follow a bioinspired design. Their high dexterity and safety make them …

Octopuses can whip their soft arms with a characteristic “bend propagation” motion to
capture prey with sensitive suckers. This relatively simple strategy provides models for …

Soft robots are capable of mimicking the complex motion of animals. Soft robotic systems are
defined by their compliance, which allows for continuous and often responsive localized …

Animals exploit soft structures to move effectively in complex natural environments. These
capabilities have inspired robotic engineers to incorporate soft technologies into their …

This article presents the development of an underwater gripper that utilizes soft robotics
technology to delicately manipulate and sample fragile species on the deep reef. Existing …

Soft robots have been extensively researched due to their flexible, deformable, and adaptive
characteristics. However, compared to rigid robots, soft robots have issues in modeling …

The octopus is a marine animal whose body has no rigid structures. It has eight arms
composed of a peculiar muscular structure, named a muscular hydrostat. The octopus arms …

This paper focuses on the recent development of soft pneumatic actuators for soft robotics
over the past few years, concentrating on the following four categories: control systems …

Nature endows numerous organisms with the ability to realize their basic physiological
activities through stimulus-responsive actuation. Inspired by these interesting biological …
