ABSTRACT
The paper describes the design of a cephalopod-inspired soft robot that is part of the art installation Tales of C (2017). Two soft modules for movement are presented, one actuated by a servo motor the other with pneumatics. It is shown that dynamic biomorphic movements can be realized with these modules using simple control signals (linear and constant changes).
