The deep ocean, Earth's untouched expanse, presents immense challenges for exploration
due to its extreme pressure, temperature, and darkness. Unlike traditional marine robots that …

This Viewpoint describes interdisciplinary research that aims to maximize understanding of
deep marine life, while concurrently being minimally invasive. We describe the synthesis of …

While soft material actuators can undergo large deformations to execute very complex
motions, what is critically lacking in soft material robotic systems is the ability to collect high …

Soft optical sensing strategies are rapidly develo** for soft robotic systems as a means to
increase the controllability of soft compliant robots. In this paper, we present a roughness …
