The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Stronger, Smarter, Softer: Next-Generation Wearable Robots (2014, background): “The compliant nature of these sensors means they can be integrated into wearable garments and robots [28], [37], [41], [45], [46].”
A Resilient, Untethered Soft Robot (2014, unknown): “However, the addition of off-the-shelf bidirectional communication hardware (e.g., Xbee Wireless RF modules) would allow remote operation with live video feedback.”
Soft Manipulators and Grippers: A Review (2016, methodology): “Soft multi-axis force sensors have been also developed (Vogt et al., 2013).”
Soft robot perception using embedded soft sensors and recurrent neural networks (2019, background): “Another prominent strain sensor design has its basis in metals that are liquid at room temperature, encased in a nonconductive elastomer (19, 20).”
Wearable soft sensing suit for human gait measurement (2014, methodology): “A possible future effort is adding pressure-sensing elements on top of the strain-sensing element in each sensor, so that each sensor itself has the capability to detect compression in addition to strain (Park et al., 2012; Vogt et al., 2013).”
