机器人软体材料研究进展

Soft materials for artificial robot

机器人软体材料分为软体驱动材料和软体感知材料,在仿生机器人中分别起到效应器与感受器的作用。故在制造仿生机器人时,软体材料的开发越发重要。本文概述了机器人软体材料与软体机器人概念上的差异,按照软体驱动材料和软体感知材料分别综述了机器人软体材料的发展动态,并探讨了这两类重要的机器人软体材料研发方面挑战及趋势。

Generally, soft materials for design and manufacture of bionic robots include the soft driving and sensing materials, as the receptor and the effector, respectively. The development of novel soft materials with high performance is very important. This paper reviews the conception of soft materials for bionic robots and the research development of the soft driving materials and sensing materials, including many examples in this area. The challenges and the future trend of this research field are discussed.
