I'll admit that I'm not a scholar on the matter, so this may just be ignorance speaking ... but I wonder why all the soft robotics stuff that I see never seems to pair the soft/flexing actuators with any rigid components?
I'm thinking of the analog to the human body (or animals) ... we have a skeleton, organized and connected via ligaments, and then our "actuators" (muscles) attach to that structure with tendons.
Is there any existing research/samples/demos that mimic this structure?
