Soft Robotic Blocks: Introducing SoBL, a Fast-Build Modularized Design Block

This video presents a new, modularized design concept for soft robots based on a bottom-up approach by assembling units. This concept enables the structures and motions of soft robots to be rapidly prototyped and revised to create new designs that can accomplish different tasks.
The paper about our modularized concept is published in IEEE Robotics & Automation Magazine (Volume: 23, Issue: 3, Sept. 2016).
