Soft
robotics

and its challenges

Soft robots are constructed using deformable materials with continuous flexibility, allowing them to adapt to their environment and employ compliant motion when manipulating objects. This opens up attractive perspectives in terms of new applications, reduced manufacturing costs, increased robustness, efficiency, and safety.

However, these benefits also bring big challenges that span from the conceptual design to real-world application, particularly in terms of modeling, simulation, and control. The deformation of the materials, including bending, twisting, stretching, etc., introduces an infinite number of degrees of freedom, making soft robots highly nonlinear and underactuated systems.

Additionally, there are further challenges in modeling of material, which further complicates the processes of modeling, simulation and control of soft robots.
