Abstract

This thesis presents a model-based design framework for incorporating mechanical intelligence into soft robotics. By integrating smart materials with morphing structures, the framework enhances the adaptability of soft robotic systems. The embedded mechanical intelligence enables the synchronization of multiple smart materials, facilitating self-actuation and customized deformations. This approach advances the development of autonomous and adaptive soft robotic systems.
