Abstract
Soft Robotics is an emerging field that make use of compliant materials to develop versatile robotic systems. Within the context of soft robotics, fluidic soft robots use medium such as air or water for actuation. Such an actuation method allows for e.g. inflation and deflation of cavities within the compliant body of the robots and and enables high adaptability and deformability, useful e.g. to achieve tasks such as gripping and locomotion. As a result, the embodied deformability of the hardware makes soft robots ideal for navigating in harsh, unknown environments or completing delicate gripping tasks. Efforts in literature have focused on achieving complex behavior as well as embedding autonomy and intelligence in the robot.
However, as for the control of soft robots, still electronic controllers are mostly used, therefore introducing mechanical-electronic interfaces and limiting the advantages of soft robots
