Abstrakt: This article presents a bibliometric analysis of the current research landscape and future prospects in the field of elastomeric soft pneumatic actuators (ESPAs) inspired by the human hand. Drawing inspiration from the intricate mechanisms of the human hand, the study maps out the research landscape in the field of ESPAs, highlighting recent advancements and emerging trends. By analyzing the leading countries, institutions, authors, journals, funding bodies, citation patterns and intellectual structures, the article identifies emerging themes and research directions, shedding light on the evolution of human hand inspired ESPAs. Finally, the literature analysis is synthesized in the form of a list of research topics which could further extend the horizons of research on ESPAs. The findings of this bibliometric analysis offer valuable guidance for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers in understanding the current state of ESPA research and charting future research agendas. By synthesizing and visualizing the research landscape, the article aims to foster collaboration, innovation, and interdisciplinary exchange in the field of soft robotics and human-machine interaction.
