Mechanically compliant systems have become one of the major concerns in robotics recently. Along with advanced control techniques, various designs of compliant actuators have been steadily proposed for taking advantages of shock absorption, low reflected inertia, and capability of energy storage. On
Soft mobile robots have shown great potential in unstructured and confined environments by taking advantage of their excellent adaptability and high dexterity. However, there are several issues to be addressed, such as actuating speeds and controllability, in soft robots. In this letter, a new vibra
Recent research on mobile robots has focused on increasing their adaptability to unpredictable and unstructured environments using soft materials and structures, and pneumatic actuators have been widely used in soft mobile robots. In spite of their advantages, existing pneumatic actuators have limit
Many of the tasks that require a high level of autonomy in complex and dangerous situations are still done by human operators with a high risk of accidents. Although various remotely controlled robot systems have been proposed, the remote operation has limitations in performance and efficiency compa
