Abstract
Various implementations include a modular soft robot including a base, an arm coupled to the base, and an actuator. The arm includes a first surface and a second surface opposite and spaced apart from the first surface. The first surface defines a plurality of channels, each channel comprising a proximal end at the first surface and a distal end spaced apart from the proximal end. Each channel has a longitudinal axis extending therethrough. The actuator is configured to deform the arm.
