The field of soft robotics is rapidly advancing, with a focus on developing innovative design paradigms and materials that enable more sophisticated and adaptable robots. Recent research has highlighted the potential of soft-rigid hybrid robots, architectured materials, and bioinspired designs to overcome the limitations of traditional rigid robots. Notably, the use of computational design and optimization techniques has led to the development of efficient and adaptable soft robots capable of navigating complex environments. Some noteworthy papers in this area include: The paper on designing morphologies of soft medical devices using cooperative neuro coevolution presents a novel approach to designing soft actuators and their controllers. The multimodal limbless crawling soft robot with a kirigami skin demonstrates a bioinspired design capable of navigating complex terrains.
