Better interaction experience: human-machine interface for soft robotic systems

As an emerging robotics technology, soft robots have received extensive attention and research in recent years, and are gradually emerging in the field of robotics by virtue of their soft materials and unique drive methods. They are able to adapt to a variety of unstructured environments and interact with humans in a safer way, opening up a whole new direction for the development of robotics. As an important component of the human-machine interface (HMI), the performance of the sensor also determines the smoothness and accuracy of human-machine interaction. The emergence of new materials and the maturity of various technologies and algorithms also make the HMI of soft robot systems increasingly refined, bringing more possibilities to soft robots. The abstract introduces the development of HMI in recent years, and discusses the role played by HMI in soft robot system and mentions some optimization solutions.
