Dynamic Control of Soft Robots

Soft robots present several advantages. However, one of the main challenges of this new field of robotics is to control these robots. The methods used to control rigid robots are not directly relevant and new approaches have to be invented or updated to be applied to this kind of robots. This paper introduces control solutions for soft robots studies taking into account dynamics of the system.
