“…A soft matrix has an air cavity enveloped by expanding and non-expanding layers to fulfill the requirements for a common bending motion [12,19,20]. However, a common bending motion can be distorted when out-of-plane forces are applied.…”

“…Common soft actuators are constructed as monolithic structures from soft materials, such as silicone rubbers [2,3], electroactive polymers [6][7][8], shape memory alloys [9,10], elastomers [11,12], hydrogels [13], or composites [14,15]. Actuation methods include a variety of stimuli, such as electrical charges [6][7][8][9][10], chemical reactions [2,16,17], and pressurized air or fluids [12,18]. Although their size, structure, material, and stimuli generally differ, their actuation motion can be divided into three basic types: bending, extending/contracting, and twisting [19].…”

“…Current climbing robots must minimize their interactions with the environment or risk damaging it or themselves. One example of a soft, caterpillar-inspired robot that attempts to mimic kinematics of a caterpillar is PISRob (Xie et al, 2018). PISRob is a pneumatic robot that uses an inching gait.…”

“…To interact with humans, these rigid robots require advanced sensing and control systems, significantly increasing cost and complexity [3]. Soft robots, in contrast, are made of intrinsically soft and stretchable materials such as gels and elastomers, and are formed into compliant active mechanisms and structures [1,2,3,4,5,6,7]. They are, therefore, able to offer safer and more robust interactions with humans and natural environments.…”
