An Opposite-Bending-and-Extension Soft Robotic Manipulator for Delicate Grasping in Shallow Water

Collecting seafood animals (such as sea cucumbers, sea echini, scallops, etc.) cultivated in shallow water (water depth: ~30 m) is a profitable and an emerging field that requires robotics for replacing human divers. Soft robotics have several promising features (e.g., safe contact with the objects,...
