Vine Growing Robots
Overview A new subclass of soft robot, known as tip-extending or “vine” robots, consists of long inflatable devices that move through the environment by extending from the tip. A …
Cédric Girerd
CNRS Researcher
I am a CNRS Researcher in Robotics. I work in the DEXTER Team in the Robotics Department at LIRMM in Montpellier, France. I obtained a PhD from Strasbourg University in 2018 in Robotics, and was a Postdoctoral Scholar at the University of California San Diego from 2019 to 2022. Since 2023, I am an Associate Editor for the IEEE RoboSoft Conference.
Tip-Growing Robots: Design, Theory, Application
Growing robots apically extend through material eversion or deposition at their tip. This endows them with unique capabilities such as follow the leader navigation, long-reach, …

Tip-Growing Robots
This web page is a resource on tip-growing robots that have been proposed to date in the literature. It will be kept up-to-date on a regular basis. If you are making use of this …
InchIGRAB: An Inchworm-Inspired Guided Retraction and Bending Device for Vine Robots During Colonoscopy
Vine robots are soft robots that translate by everting, or growing, from their tips. This mechanism of translation minimizes the application of shear forces on the environment, …
