A Review of Somatic Design for Soft Robotic Grippers: From Parts Integration to Functional Synergy

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 6, Issue 8, August 2024.
Somatic design is crucial for soft grippers to emulate the embodied intelligence of their biological counterparts, due to the blurry boundaries among material, structure and function. There are five critical parts in somatic design, including morphology, material, fabrication, actuation, and variable stiffness. The strong nonlinear coupling among these
