Soft robotics research has made considerable progress in many areas of robotics technologies based on deformable functional materials, including locomotion, manipulation, and other morphological adaptation such as self-healing, self-morph, and mechanical growth. While these technologies open up many new robotics applications, new challenges emerge in terms of sensing, modeling, planning, and controlling. Because of the general complexity of the system based on flexible and continuum mechanics, and a large diversity of …
