2018 IEEE International Conference on Soft Robotics (RoboSoft)

The field of soft robotics has grown significantly in the last decade and has brought significant achievements in terms of principles, models, technologies, fabrication techniques for soft robots and in interdisciplinary areas such as soft functional materials, stretchable electronics and biology. The conceptual and theoretical framework of soft robotics includes modeling and control and computational capacity of soft body dynamics, i.e. “morphological computation”. It becomes possible to pursue applications of soft robots in several fields, ranging from explorations to biomedical applications.
