Abstract
Purpose of Review
This review provides an overview of the state of the art in bioinspired soft robotics by examining advancements in actuation, functionality, modeling, and control.
Recent Findings
Recent research into actuation methods, such as artificial muscles, has expanded the functionality and potential use of bioinspired soft robots. Additionally, the application of finite dimensional models has improved computational efficiency for modeling soft continuum systems, and garnered interest as a basis for controller formulation.
Summary
Bioinspiration in the field of soft robotics has led to diverse approaches to problems in a range of task spaces. In particular, new capabilities in system simplification, miniaturization, and untethering have each contributed to the field’s growth. There is still significant room for improvement in the streamlining of design and manufacturing for these systems, as well as in their control.
