Despite tremendous progress in the development of untethered soft robots recent years, existing systems lack mobility, model‐based control, and motion planning capabilities their piecewise rigid counterparts. As conventional robotic systems, versatile locomotion is aided by integration hardware design control with modeling tools that account for unique mechanics environmental interactions. Here, a framework physics‐based modeling, planning, fully swimming robot introduced. This enables...
Performing long-term experimentation or large-scale data collection for machine learning in the field of soft robotics is challenging, due to hardware robustness and experimental flexibility required. In this work, we propose a modular parallel robotic manipulation platform suitable such compatible with various soft-robotic fabrication methods. Considering computational theoretical difficulty replicating high-fidelity, faster-than-real-time simulations that enable rigid systems, robust...
Abstract Electrically conductive hydrogels are a promising class of materials for soft electronics and robotics that mimic the mechanics natural biological tissue. However, these typically derived from petrochemical sources their production involves hazardous solvents monomers limit accessibility environmental compatibility. This study introduces biomaterial hydrogel composite in which percolating network silver microflakes is suspended natural, gelatin‐based matrix. The primarily composed...
