The integration of flexible organic electronics in soft robotic devices is a valuable way to enhance their functionality, towards augmented controllability and performance. Nonetheless, this field is generally unexplored. Here, we report a preliminary study on the integration of soft robotic components with Organic Field-Effect Transistor-based strain sensors. Such sensors will be tested as deformation transducer for bioengineered muscle tissues operating as biohybrid actuators. Moreover, the integration of ultra-flexible devices on catheter-like soft robotic supports is discussed.
