Soft robot is a new kind of robot, which can adapt to various unstructured environment and interact with human more safely. The body of the robot is made of soft material, which is generally considered to be the material whose Young's modulus is lower than that of human muscles. Different from the traditional robot motor driving, the driving mode of soft robot mainly depends on the intelligent material used. Generally, there are dielectric elastomer (DE), ionic polymer metal composite (IPMC), shape memory alloy (SMA), shape memory polymer (SMP), etc., which can be temporarily divided into the following categories from the physical quantity of response: electric field, pressure, magnetic field, chemical reaction, light, temperature, etc.
