Design Optimization of Soft Robots: A Review of the State of the Art
Feifei Chen, Michael Yu Wang
Abstract
Robotics has undergone a profound revolution in the past 50 years, moving from the laboratory and research institute to the factory and home. Kinematics and dynamics theories have been developed as the foundation for robot design and control, based on the conventional definition of robots: a kinematic chain of rigid links.
