Learning 3D shape proprioception for continuum soft robots with multiple magnetic sensors
This letter proposes to use magnetic sensors fully integrated into the robot to achieve proprioception, and a neural architecture to make sense of the highly nonlinear relationship between the perceived intensity of the magnetic field and the shape of the robot.

Model-Based Control of Soft Robots: A Survey of the State of the Art and Open Challenges
In continuum soft robotics, softness is not concentrated at the joint level but instead distributed across the whole structure. As a result, soft robots (henceforth, omitting the adjective continuum) are entirely made of continuously deformable elements.

Modelling Handed Shearing Auxetics: Selective Piecewise Constant Strain Kinematics and Dynamic Simulation
This paper proposes two key components extending discrete Cosserat rod model (DCM) to allow for modeling Handed Shearing Auxetics (HSAs) for electrically-actuated continuum soft robots.
