In conventional hard robots, which are mainly composed of tough links and joints, one can easily find out the difference between the actuator and the structure.... soft robots are made up of soft and flexible elastomeric materials, which mostly make it difficult to distinguish between the structure and the actuator. This unique property of soft robots cannot be found in conventional hard robots. 1, record 1, English, - soft%20robot

Le fonctionnement mécanique des robots souples repose sur l'utilisation de structures déformables d'une manière similaire aux systèmes du monde biologique et aux matériaux organiques. En robotique déformable, la souplesse peut être obtenue avec diverses approches, à partir de matériaux souples comme le silicone [...], de polymères élastomères [...], de matériaux microstructurés [...] ou d'un arrangement géométrique de pièces rigides spécifiquement conçues comme avec des structures de tenségrité [...] 1, record 1, French, - robot%20souple

Although the redesigned station is now being built as much as possible on the ground, the entire monolithic structure cannot be lobbed into orbit in one piece. The sections must be small enough to fit inside the Space Shuttle payload bay, which limits segments to about 15 ft(4. 6 m) in diameter and 45 ft(13. 7 m) in length. By the time the space frame truss segments are ready for launch, they have been fitted with such hardware as electric lines, batteries, antennas, gyroscopes, robotic arms, solar panel assemblies, and heat radiators. The actual truss is hard to identify once all the equipment is loaded onto it; there's no wasted space. Once the segments are in space the astronauts will simply bolt them together with a few fasteners and then connect hoses, ducts, and other utilities by plugging them into ports between sections. 2, record 13, English, - truss%20segment
