Soft robots are designed to utilize their compliance and contortionistic abilities to both interact safely with their environment and move through it in ways a rigid robot cannot. To more completely achieve this, the robot should be made of as many soft components as possible. Here we present a completely...
Soft robotics is an emerging field that heavily relies on the ability of 3D printers. The limitations in soft robotics lie in the area of the 3D printers and the predictive models of the printed materials. There are currently no reliable models for optimizing the gradients required to create soft...
