A Soft, Fast and Versatile Electrohydraulic Gripper with Capacitive Object Size Detection

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, 2022
Soft robotic grippers achieve increased versatility and reduced complexity through intelligence embodied in their flexible and conformal structures. The most widely used soft grippers are pneumatically driven; they are simple and effective but require ...

Enhancing the Universality of a Pneumatic Gripper via Continuously Adjustable Initial Grasp Postures

open access: yesIEEE Transactions on robotics, 2021
Recently, various soft universal grippers have been developed due to their reduced control complexity and satisfying grasping capability. The gripping range of a gripper plays a key role in its universality. This article presents a pneumatically actuated

Octopus-Inspired Underwater Soft Robotic Gripper with Crawling and Swimming Capabilities

open access: yesResearch
Can a robotic gripper only operate when attached to a robotic arm? The application space of the traditional gripper is limited by the robotic arm. Giving robot grippers the ability to move will expand their range of applications.

Fabrication of Origami Soft Gripper Using On-Fabric 3D Printing

open access: yesRobotics, 2023
In this work, we have presented a soft encapsulating gripper for gentle grasps. This was enabled by a series of soft origami patterns, such as the Yoshimura pattern, which was directly printed on fabric.

Fast and Reliable Autonomous Surgical Debridement with Cable-Driven Robots Using a Two-Phase Calibration Procedure

open access: yes, 2018
Automating precision subtasks such as debridement (removing dead or diseased tissue fragments) with Robotic Surgical Assistants (RSAs) such as the da Vinci Research Kit (dVRK) is challenging due to inherent non-linearities in cable-driven systems.
