Soft robots are implied to be inherently safe, and thus "compatible", not only with human coworkers in a production environment, but also with the "family around the house". Such soft robots today still hold numerous new challenges for their design and control, for their commanding and supervision approaches as well as for human-robot interaction concepts. The research field of eRobotics is currently underway to provide a modern basis for efficient soft robotic developments. The objective is to effectively use electronic media - hence the "e" at the beginning of the term – to achieve the best possible advance in the research field. A key feature of eRobotics is its capability to join multiple process simulation components under one "software roof" to build "Virtual Testbeds", i.e. to alleviate the dependancy on physical prototypes and to provide a comprehensive tool chain support for the analysis, development, testing, optimization, deployment and commanding of soft robots.
