“…Most soft multi-legged robots employ a different principle for walking: they move legs and body to keep the centre of gravity always inside the polygon of support (table 2). This was the first strategy used by rigid legged robots [57], and it is a concept often used by robots with soft pneumatic legs [16,58,59], SMA and spring systems [60], and EAPs [61]. In those gaits, soft bodies or structures are exploited to adapt to different conditions, move inside confined spaces, or reduce the force exerted on the environment.…”

Soft robotics and its related technologies enable robot abilities in several robotics domains including, but not exclusively related to, manipulation, manufacturing, human -robot interaction and locomotion. Although field applications have emerged for soft manipulation and human-robot interaction, mobile soft robots appear to remain in the research stage, involving the somehow conflictual goals of having a deformable body and exerting forces on the environment to achieve locomotion. This paper aims to provide a reference guide for researchers approaching mobile soft robotics, to describe the underlying principles of soft robot locomotion with its pros and cons, and to envisage applications and further developments for mobile soft robotics.

In this paper we aim to present an evolution of the development of robotic end effectors with applications in fruit and vegetable harvesting but without exhaustively covering all technical solutions. This study is focused on robotic final effectors dedicated to harvesting fruits that have reached an advanced stage of development for apples, tomatoes, sweet peppers and cucumbers. The performances of these final effectors (harvesting speed, success rate, costs, etc.) are compared with the performances of human operators and we could say that so far the robots fail to reach the efficiency of human operators in the harvesting processes. The success rate is below 90% and the harvest times are longer than 10 seconds and this means a low efficiency. Although the level of commercial robots for fruit harvesting has not been reached, technological developments indicate an improvement in the performance of this category of robots, an increasing number of research projects are focused on tomato and apple harvesting technologies.
