Touchless interactive teaching of soft robots through flexible bimodal sensory interfaces
Nature Communications, 2022 Soft robots are challenging to model and program. Non-specialists face non-negligible obstacles when working with soft robots to perform tasks. Here, the authors propose a method to interactively teach soft robots complex motions through flexible ...

Soft Robotics for Chemists [PDF]
Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 2011 Soft robots: A methodology based on embedded pneumatic networks (PneuNets) is described that enables large-amplitude actuations in soft elastomers by pressurizing embedded channels. Examples include a structure that can change its curvature from convex to concave, and devices that act as compliant grippers for handling fragile objects (e.g., a chicken ...
