The last decade has witnessed an increasing interest in the more
active use of soft materials in robotic systems. Having a soft body
like the ones in biological systems can potentially provide a robot
with superior capabilities. For example, soft body can help the
robots to adaptively navigate through small openings, softness can
prevent injuries in human-robot interaction, while deformable body
can also store and release energy, which may lead to energy
effciency in locomotion tasks. By building robotic systems with
soft materials, we can realize systems that are safer, cheaper, and
more adaptable than the level that conventional rigid-material
robots can achieve. Soft-Material Robotics introduces the
fundamental aspects of this vibrant research topic from history,
modelling, control, and system integration. This content sets it
apart from previous review efforts that have focused on presenting
individual case studies.
