Soft robots capable of morphing into various 3D shapes are crucial for applications like human‐machine interfaces and biological manipulation. However, controlling 3D shape‐morphing robots with soft actuators remains a challenge. This work introduces a machine learning model that maps complex 3D deformations to control inputs, enabling robots to mimic ...
