Soft Robotics

Published October 27, 2020 Curated Collections

PLOS ONE is delighted to announce a Collection across all areas of Open Soft Robotics Research. This Collection is aimed at providing an inclusive platform for researchers from a broad range of disciplines, such as Engineering, Materials Science, Chemistry, Computer science, Rehabilitation Medicine and interdisciplinary sciences. In particular, we sought new solutions that have the potential to favourably impact the development of future soft robots, including works focusing on extending their durability, reliability, reproducibility and resilience in challenging environments.
