Abstract

Soft robots are increasingly significant in compliant operations, minimally invasive surgery, and in vivo medical treatments due to their tissue-like mechanical properties and miniaturization. Enhancing their perception, remote control, and medical capabilities necessitates the integration of soft electronic systems, which offer mature technologies for these functions. This chapter examines the incorporation of soft electronic systems into soft robots, focusing on tactile sensing in soft robotic hands, environmental sensing in highly integrated robots, and the use of miniature robots in medicine. This development highlights the mutually beneficial relationship between soft electronic systems and soft robots in advancing both technology and applications.
