Soft robotics has evolved from an emerging concept into a rapidly expanding interdisciplinary field that promises transformative impact across science, engineering, and medicine. This book brings together a diverse collection of contemporary research that reflects the breadth and maturity the field has reached—and outlines where it may be heading next. The motivation behind this collective volume lies in the recognition that soft material systems are not only reshaping robotic design but also pushing the boundaries of what robots can physically achieve in unstructured, complex, or human-centered environments. The softness, compliance, and adaptability of materials serve not merely as mechanical features but as integral components in sensing, actuation, intelligence, and interaction.
