Pushing this Pareto frontier outwards towards biological capabilities of enduring and adaptive mobility will probably require embracing complexity and multifunctionality. Meaning, hierarchical assembly of several sub-systems (i.e., organs) and packing energy into every cubic centimetre of volume. Towards this end, I will talk about our work to \u201cinnervate\u201d robots for tactile feedback using stretchable sensing \u201cskins\u201d for high density shape sensing measurements to improve control authority in a high degree of freedom (passive or active) continuum structures and actuators. My focus will be on the use of stretchable fiberoptic lightguides as a sensing medium for estimating deformation and temperature in the \u201cmeat\u201d of these compliant structures and actuators. After discussing sensing, I will then describe our concept of \u201cRobot Blood\u201d in order to increase the overall energy density of hydraulically powered robots. This Robot Blood is an electrolyte based on redox flow battery (RFB) chemistry that performs the additional function of force transmission and soft actuator inflation. I will close by demonstrating robots that take advantage of this electrohydraulic power.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The soft robotics workshop will be focused on answering five questions concerning the past and future of soft robots<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":12759,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17,122],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-559","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-conference","category-lm-2021-workshops"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Perspective for soft robotics: THE FIELD\u2019S PAST AND FUTURE  - 28 JULY 2021 - Living Machines 2025<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/livingmachinesconference.eu\/2025\/conference\/soft-robotics\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Perspective for soft robotics: THE FIELD\u2019S PAST AND FUTURE  - 28 JULY 2021 - Living Machines 2025\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The soft robotics workshop will be focused on answering five questions concerning the past and future of soft robots\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/livingmachinesconference.eu\/2025\/conference\/soft-robotics\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Living Machines 2025\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2021-05-20T13:37:00+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2021-07-13T10:13:46+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/livingmachinesconference.eu\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Soft-Robotics.png\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"400\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"300\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/png\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"admin\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"admin\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/livingmachinesconference.eu\\\/2025\\\/conference\\\/soft-robotics\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/livingmachinesconference.eu\\\/2025\\\/conference\\\/soft-robotics\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"admin\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/livingmachinesconference.eu\\\/2025\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/39281e03a3a0744c8466620c365119ab\"},\"headline\":\"Perspective for soft robotics: THE FIELD\u2019S PAST AND FUTURE &#8211;
