Over-Actuation in Soft Robots: Towards Active Variable Stiffness & Viscoelasticity

Continuum soft robots (cSR) represent a particular class of the highest compliant deformable robots made of elastomers, typically driven by embedded pneumatic chambers. While their structural compliance is appealing for many tasks, most existing research on variable stiffness at a constant generaliz…
