Bioinspired reconfigurable soft robots for underwater multimodal locomotion and manipulation

Inspection and sample collection on the ocean’s threatened reefs requires dexterous machines with a low impac,. Soft robots are ideal for this purpose. Current soft robots for underwater grasping use silicone actuators. While these allow for,the safe manipulation of corals and other delicate aquatic objects, the dexterity of such actuators is reduced. Examples of such […]
