Underwater soft robots inspired by marine life have shown great potential in ocean exploration, monitoring, scientific research, etc., due to their excellent safety, compatibility and adaptability when interacting with underwater environments. However, most of their soft actuators suffer performance
Variable stiffness technology is an extensively discussed topic in soft robotics, which can bridge the traditional fast, precise and high-force rigid robots with compliant, agile, and safe soft robots. In this paper, we introduce the concept of geometry-induced rigidity and propose a variable curvat…
Natural animals always provide inspirations for soft robot designs, and the evolved locomotion mechanisms perfectly adapted to specific environments motivate a lot of robots to pursue superior mobility. The small stomatopod named Nannosquilla decemspinosa possesses a unique form of locomotion-backwa
