摘要
This paper reviews various processes for manufacturing new type of robots termed “soft biomimetic robots.” Most robots are made of rigid metallic materials. But in recent years, various biomimetic robots based on soft materials and compliant parts have been developed. New manufacturing processes are required to fabricate these types of robots, and the processes include Shape Deposition Manufacturing (SDM) and Smart Composite Microstructures (SCM). Since the design of robots are limited by the available material and manufacturing processes, it is important to develop new manufacturing processes that will enable development of novel soft biomimetic robots. In this paper, various manufacturing processes which can be applied to soft robot fabrication are summarized, and features of those processes are described. Processes are divided into three categories; soft robot body fabrication, actuators for soft robots and stretchable electronics. This review provides a guideline for selecting manufacturing processes for soft robots and developing new processes that will enable new type of robots to be designed.
