Manipulation

Manipulation is a functional capability in bioinspired soft robots that enables controlled interaction with objects or environments through adaptive deformation and contact forces, distinguishing it from rigid-body manipulation by leveraging compliance, variable stiffness, and distributed actuation inherent to soft robotic systems.
