Abstract

Soft Robotics In article number 2000139, Tommaso Ranzani and co-workers introduce a method for controlling the actuation of fluid-based soft robots using magnets to modulate the properties of a continuously flowing magnetorheological (MR) fluid. To demonstrate this control methodology, they present a five degree-of-freedom robot with a single inlet and outlet.
