Stretchable electroadhesion for soft robots [PDF]
2014 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems, 2014 With the ongoing rise of soft robots there emerges a need for new soft robotic technologies that can cope with hyper-flexibility and stretchability. In this paper, we describe our developments on enabling controllable adhesion, namely electroadhesion, for the use in soft robots.

Annual Review of Control, Robotics, and Autonomous Systems, 2023 Soft robots’ flexibility and compliance give them the potential to outperform traditional rigid-bodied robots while performing multiple tasks in unexpectedly changing environments and conditions. However, soft robots are yet to reveal their full potential; nature is still far more advanced in several areas, such as locomotion and manipulation.

Is a Soft Robot More “Natural”? Exploring the Perception of Soft Robotics in Human–Robot Interaction [PDF]
International Journal of Social Robotics, 2021 Soft robotics technology has been proposed for a number of applications that involve human–robot interaction. It is commonly presumed that soft robots are perceived as more natural, and thus more appealing, than rigid robots, an assumption that has not hitherto been tested or validated.
