Annual Review of Biomedical Engineering, 2015
In nature, nanometer-scale molecular motors are used to generate force within cells for diverse processes from transcription and transport to muscle contraction. This adaptability and scalability across wide temporal, spatial, and force regimes have spurred the development of biological soft robotic systems that seek to mimic and extend these ...

Soft Robots in Space: A Perspective for Soft Robotics
2013Deploying robots in space has been difficult due to safety concerns and the need to operate in confined weightless environments that are complex and 3-dimensional. Some of these concerns can be addressed by deploying soft robots that can change shape, attach to surfaces and climb robustly independent of gravity.

Karel Capek introduced the word robot in his short story "Opilec" first time in 1917, and then his famous play "Rossum's Universal Robots" in 1923, where he used the word robota to mean forced labor or unpleasant work. This led the development of many fictional robots with the aim of harming humanbeings.

Growing and Evolving Soft Robots
Artificial Life, 2014Completely soft and flexible robots offer to revolutionize fields ranging from search and rescue to endoscopic surgery. One of the outstanding challenges in this burgeoning field is the chicken-and-egg problem of body-brain design: Development of locomotion requires the preexistence of a locomotion-capable body, and development of a location-capable ...

Soft electronics for soft robotics
SPIE Proceedings, 2015As advanced as modern machines are, the building blocks have changed little since the industrial revolution, leading to rigid, bulky, and complex devices. Future machines will include electromechanical systems that are soft and elastically deformable, lending them to applications such as soft robotics, wearable/implantable devices, sensory skins, and ...
