چکیده
Soft robotic systems are human friendly and can mimic the complex motions of animals, which introduces promising potential in various applications, ranging from novel actuation wearable electronics to bioinspired robots operating unstructured environments. Due use soft materials, traditional fabrication manufacturing methods for rigid materials unavailable robots. 3D printing is a method multifunctional multimaterial demands robots, as it enables personalization customization structures. This review provides perspectives on types discusses challenges prospects future research, including in-depth discussion pneumatic, electrically activated, magnetically driven, 4D-printed actuators integrated sensors. Finally, realizing multimaterial, multiscale, 3D-printed discussed.

Toward Self-Growing Soft Robots Inspired by Plant Roots and Based on Additive Manufacturing Technologies
In this article, we present a novel class of robots that are able to move by growing and building their own structure. In particular, taking inspiration by the growing abilities of plant roots, we designed and developed a plant root-like robot that creates its body through an additive manufacturing process. Each robotic root includes a tubular body, a growing head, and a sensorized tip that com...
متن کاملSoft Actuators and Robots that Are Resistant to Mechanical Damage
Robots based on rigid structural elements—metallic skeletons, electrical motors, conventional mechanical actuators, and mechanical joints—can be superb at performing tasks that require high precision, rapid movement, or application of high levels of force or power. These “hard” robots are, however, often heavy, costly, and diffi cult (and expensive) to control. [ 1–3 ] Hard robots designed to b...
متن کاملNovel Additive Manufacturing Pneumatic Actuators and Mechanisms for Food Handling Grippers
Conventional pneumatic grippers are widely used in industrial pick and place robot processes for rigid objects. They are simple, robust and fast, but their design, motion and features are limited, and they do not fulfil the final purpose. Food products have a wide variety of shapes and textures and are susceptible to damaged. Robot grippers for food handling should adapt to this wide range of d...
متن کاملIntelligent Manufacturing by Simple Robots
In the paper we describe how a multiagent system consisting of simple self-similar reactive agents could be made to collaborate toward a common goal by self-organization principles. The multiagent system as a whole could be viewed as an intelligent and adaptive system. In the paper it is shown that with a relatively simple method a rather complex manufacturing tasks could be accomplished. The t...
متن کاملArtificial annelid robot driven by soft actuators.
The annelid provides a biological solution of effective locomotion adaptable to a large variety of unstructured environmental conditions. The undulated locomotion of the segmented body in the annelid is characterized by the combination of individual motion of the muscles distributed along the body, which has been of keen interest in biomimetic investigation. In this paper, we present an annelid...
