“…Commonly employed deformable sensors for mounting on soft actuators include resistive strain sensors, such as liquid metal-based sensors, fabric and textile-based sensors, flex sensors, and elastic compressive foam sensors. There is research [57,114,117,129,[152][153][154][155][156][157][158][159][160][161][162][163] documenting the use of capacitive sensors, such as pressure sensors, tactile sensors, strain sensors, and pneumatic pressure sensors, in soft robotics. In terms of positioning, soft robots can be guided by embedded ultrasonic range sensors for navigation [164].…”

Advancements in smart manufacturing have embraced the adoption of soft robots for improved productivity, flexibility, and automation as well as safety in smart factories. Hence, soft robotics is seeing a significant surge in popularity by garnering considerable attention from researchers and practitioners. Bionic soft robots, which are composed of compliant materials like silicones, offer compelling solutions to manipulating delicate objects, operating in unstructured environments, and facilitating safe human–robot interactions. However, despite their numerous advantages, there are some fundamental challenges to overcome, which particularly concern motion precision and stiffness compliance in performing physical tasks that involve external forces. In this regard, enhancing the operation performance of soft robots necessitates intricate, complex structural designs, compliant multifunctional materials, and proper manufacturing methods. The objective of this literature review is to chronicle a comprehensive overview of soft robot design, manufacturing, and operation challenges in conjunction with recent advancements and future research directions for addressing these technical challenges.

“…The evolution of wearable technologies has led to the development of novel types of sensors customized for a wide range of applications. 60 In addition, for the realization of the sensing function, among the indicators of the sensing mechanism itself, the sensitivity of the sensor reflects the minimum detection limit of the device, which corresponds to the signal strength that can be perceived and measured. The detection range corresponds to the applicable sensing signal, and the sensing time is related to the real-time and fast response ability of EWSR.…”

As wearable health devices have the ability of intelligent monitoring, they are becoming cutting-edge technology in medical and health fields. However, the simplification of functions limits their further development. In addition, soft robotics with actuation functions can achieve therapeutic effects by doing external work, but their monitoring function is not sufficiently developed. The efficient integration of the two can guide future development. The functional integration of actuation and sensing can not only monitor the human body and surrounding environment but also realize actuation and assistance. Recent evidence shows that emerging wearable soft robotics can become the future of personalized medical treatment. In this Perspective, the comprehensive development in the field of actuators for simple structure soft robotics and the field of wearable application sensors are introduced, as well as their manufacturing processes and various potential medical applications. Furthermore, the challenges faced in this field are discussed, and future development directions are proposed.

With the innovation of wearable technology and the rapid development of biosensors, wearable biosensors based on flexible textile materials have become a hot topic. Such textile-based wearable biosensors promote the development of health monitoring, motion detection and medical management, and they have become an important support tool for human healthcare monitoring. Textile-based wearable biosensors not only non-invasively monitor various physiological indicators of the human body in real time, but they also provide accurate feedback of individual health information. This review examines the recent research progress of fabric-based wearable biosensors. Moreover, materials, detection principles and fabrication methods for textile-based wearable biosensors are introduced. In addition, the applications of biosensors in monitoring vital signs and detecting body fluids are also presented. Finally, we also discuss several challenges faced by textile-based wearable biosensors and the direction of future development.
