Abstract
Soft robotics integrates engineering, materials science, and biology to tackle challenges that conventional robotics cannot solve. Alongside the advancements in soft robot technology, there is also a need for a standardized hardware platform that can enable benchmarking of various control methods developed for soft-bodied robots. This paper contributes to the state-of-the-art by designing a testbed that features a tendon-driven soft-bodied robot with integrated closed-loop force control.
