摘要

Soft robots offer physical adaptability and collision robustness, but they find limited applications due to lower speed, precision, and controllability compared to rigid systems. We advocate for a performance-driven approach to develop hybrid soft-rigid robots with animal-like agility. Recent research demonstrates that soft robots incorporating fast-acting muscles, energy-storing tendons, and shape-morphing skeletons can achieve capabilities approaching their biological and rigid counterparts.
