Abstract

Flexible robot, as a emerging technology in smart manufacturing industry, has been arousing great interest widely. This essay begins with the characteristics and classification of soft robots, exploring their advantages, current applications, industrial prospects, as well as the challenges and opportunities they face in the field of smart manufacturing. Firstly, s the advantages of flexible robots in smart manufacturing - high adaptability, superior dexterity and safer human-robot collaboration - are discussed through the classification of flexible robots and their respective characteristics. Then the current application status of flexible robots in smart manufacturing are introduced, illustrating their practical implementations in the industry through specific case analyses. The industrial development status of flexible robots in smart manufacturing and the encountered technical and market challenges are also analyzed, while proposing potential opportunities and development trends. Finally, the findings and provides prospects for the development direction of flexible robots in intelligent manufacturing are summarized. This paper aims to provide valuable insights for researchers and enterprises engaged in flexible robot applications within the smart manufacturing domain.
