Contest-driven soft-robotics boost: the RoboSoft Grand Challenge

This paper reports the design process, the implementation and the results of a novel roboticcontest addressing soft robots, named RoboSoft Grand Challenge. Application-oriented taskswere proposed in three different scenarios where soft robotics is particularly lively: manipulation,terrestrial and un...
