Soft robotics is a branch of robotics focusing on technologies with physical features like those of live biological creatures. Additionally, they have many details that are hard, if not impossible, to realize with traditional robots composed of solid materials. This study concentrates on the current expansion of soft pneumatic actuators for modern soft robotics in recent years, emphasizing three areas: Implementation of soft robots, Modeling, and Methods of control systems. Therefore, numerous soft robotic designs and ways to make them suitable for medical, manufacturing, and agricultural applications have been presented. Moreover, functional and technological aspects have been given to review models similar to human hand functionality and motions. To realize the advanced soft robotic manipulation function, robotic hands must be equipped with tactile sensing, which is required to provide continuous data on the volume and direction of forces at all contact locations. The research examines achievements in material science, actuation, sensing techniques, manufacturing technologies, and how to model and control a soft robot's motion, which is scientifically challenging and, more importantly, practical.
