Abstract
This section introduces the sensing and perception of the soft robots. First, the sensor
of the soft robots are classified. Then, the state of the soft robot’s sensing and perception model
is introduced, i.e., passive mode, semi-active mode, active mode and interactive perceptive
mode. Moreover, according to the sensing and perception mode, several sensing and perception
technologies are presented. In the end, several challenges regarding the sensing and perception
of the soft robots are summarized.
