Abstract:
Soft robots are mainly made of flexible materials,which imitate soft creatures that are common in nature,such as octopuses,snakes and worms. Since the soft robot can arbitrarily change its shape and size,it has extremely broad application prospects in medical treatment,filed exploration and object grasping. As an emerging manufacturing method,3D Printing has become widely used in the areas of soft robots in the recent years. This article firstly introduces the typical 3D printing technologies and their applications in the construction of soft robots,and then focuses on the latest developments in the research of 3D printing for various sensors of soft robots. Finally,it summarizes the shortcomings of the existing 3D printing soft robots and sensors,and discusses the future development directions in this field.
