Soft Robotics offers RoboSoft Grand Challenge prizes
The Soft Robotics specialty of Frontiers in Robotics and AI has the pleasure to offer the winners of the RoboSoft Grand Challenge full waivers for their submissions.
Scope
Soft robotics, with the use of “soft” materials to build robots, is an emergent field in robotics science, especially for the design of the next generations of systems closely integrated in our society. Soft robotics goes beyond the traditional concept of structured systems, representing a disruptive challenge for future emerging technologies and for the design of adaptive structures integrated within society and nature. Soft, elastic and deformable systems are key issues for smoothly and softly interactions with the physical unknown environment, opening to robots with high dexterous capabilities and promising for a wide range of applications.A key factor of soft robotics is its multidisciplinary nature, looking upon both soft technologies (soft – variable stiffness materials, soft actuators and sensors, stretchable electronics, new control paradigms as morphological computation and embodied intelligence) and complete soft robots, besides involving other disciplines (biology, chemistry, physics) capable of inspiring and enhance the engineering design. The section on Soft Robotics provides scientists with the latest results in this field, by gathering contributions from soft roboticists and experts in fields that can contribute to the development of novel soft robots, regardless of their background discipline.

Soft Robotics welcomes submissions of the following article types: Book Review, Brief Research Report, Code, Correction, Data Report, Editorial, Erratum, General Commentary, Hypothesis and Theory, Methods, Mini Review, Opinion, Original Research, Perspective, Protocols, Review, Specialty Grand Challenge and Technology Report.
All manuscripts must be submitted directly to the section Soft Robotics, where they are peer-reviewed by the Associate and Review Editors of the specialty section.
Articles published in the section Soft Robotics will benefit from the Frontiers impact and tiering system after online publication. Authors of published original research with the highest impact, as judged democratically by the readers, will be invited by the Chief Editor to write a Frontiers Focused Review - a tier-climbing article. This is referred to as "democratic tiering". The author selection is based on article impact analytics of original research published in all Frontiers specialty journals and sections. Focused Reviews are centered on the original discovery, place it into a broader context, and aim to address the wider community across all of Robotics and AI.
