A Comprehensive Bibliometric Analysis of Soft Robotics Research: Trends, Impact, and Future Directions
Abstract
This report presents a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of the soft robotics research landscape, drawing upon a Scopus-derived dataset. The study meticulously examines publication trends, identifies influential documents, leading authors, prominent institutions, key publication outlets, and the global distribution of research efforts. Findings reveal a field characterised by exponential growth in scientific production, particularly since 2013, driven by advancements in materials science, novel fabrication techniques like 3D/4D printing, and bio-inspired design principles. The analysis highlights the significant contributions of pioneering researchers and institutions, predominantly from the USA, with a notable recent surge in output from Asian countries. While the field demonstrates a robust intellectual framework and diverse applications in human-robot interaction and biomedicine, challenges about long-term durability, standardised characterisation, energy autonomy, and complex control strategies persist.
