Front Cover: Programmable Fabric‐Based Soft Pneumatic Actuators for Wearables: A Review (Small Struct. 7/2026)
Source abstract
Abstract
Soft Robotics In their Review (10.1002/sstr.202500907), Yadie Yang and co-workers summarize recent advances in fabric soft pneumatic actuators, emphasizing programmable design strategies, diverse actuation deformation modes, material selection, and emerging applications. It is highlighted how geometric constraints, material distribution, and specialized fabrication methods govern longitudinal, bending, torsional, and multimodal behaviors, providing a unified perspective on design-to-response framework for the next generation of soft robotic systems.
