Fabric‐Based Star Soft Robotic Gripper

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, 2023
Soft pneumatic gripping strategies are often based on pressurized actuation of structures made of soft elastomeric materials, which limits designs in terms of size, weight, achievable forces, and ease of fabrication. In contrast, fabric‐based inflatable structures offer high stiffness‐to‐weight ratio solutions for soft robotics, but their actuation has

Electrochemical grippers based on the tuning of surface forces for applications in micro- and nanorobotics

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
Existing approaches to robotic manipulation often rely on external mechanical devices, such as hydraulic and pneumatic devices or grippers. Both types of devices can be adapted to microrobots only with difficulties and for nanorobots not all.

An AI-Assisted and Self-Powered Smart Robotic Gripper Based on Eco-EGaIn Nanocomposite for Pick-and-Place Operation

open access: yesNanomaterials, 2022
High compliance and muscle-alike soft robotic grippers have shown promising performance in addressing the challenges in traditional rigid grippers. Nevertheless, a lack of control feedback (gasping speed and contact force) in a grasping operation can ...

Leveraging Elastic instabilities for Amplified Performance: spine-inspired high-speed and high-force soft robots

open access: yes, 2020
Soft machines typically exhibit slow locomotion speed and low manipulation strength because of intrinsic limitations of soft materials. Here, we present a generic design principle that harnesses mechanical instability for a variety of spine-inspired fast
