Programmable design of soft pneu-net actuators with oblique chambers can generate coupled bending and twisting motions (2018, background): “During the ast decade, extensive soft robots have been developed that can ealize grasping [5], manipulating [6], creeping [7], crawling [8], wimming [9], and jumping motions [10].”
Soft Robotics: New Perspectives for Robot Bodyware and Control (2014, positive): “…more safely with the natural, unstructured environment and with humans, and that better deal with uncertain and dynamic tasks [i.e., grasping and manipulation of unknown objects (Brown et al., 2010), locomotion in rough terrains (Lin et al., 2011), physical contacts with human bodies, etc.].”
Soft Robotics: A Review of Recent Developments of Pneumatic Soft Actuators (2020, background): “There is also a control system known as a Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller, which is a control loop mechanism that utilizes feedback to keep a constant variable.”
