Abstract: Because of the challenges that traditional robotics based on rigid connections confront in many applications, soft materials are increasingly being used in robotics. A soft body brings up hitherto unexplored robotics possibilities, which are now difficult to exploit yet are a source of rich behaviours. To attain this aim, new soft mechatronics concepts, particularly soft actuation concepts, are necessary. Despite the fact that numerous steps must be taken, they are already demonstrating the potential for a dramatic technological shift in a variety of application sectors.
