arXiv:2608.30773v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In animals such as elephants and octopuses, acquiring non-visual information about an object and physically engaging with it are inseparable processes mediated by rich, large-area interactions between compliant appendages and the environment. Soft robots provide a natural platform for translating this principle into engineered systems.
