Soft particles reinforce robotic grippers: robotic grippers based on granular jamming of soft particles [PDF]
Granular Matter, 2021 AbstractGranular jamming has been identified as a fundamental mechanism for the operation of robotic grippers. In this work, we show, that soft particles like expanded polystyrene beads lead to significantly larger gripping forces in comparison to rigid particles.

A Bioinspired Compliant 3D-Printed Soft Gripper [PDF]
Soft Robotics, 2022 A compliant three-dimensional (3D)-printed soft gripper is designed based on the bioinspired spiral spring in this study. The soft gripper is then 3D-printed using a suitable thermoplastic filament material to deliver the desired performance. The sensorless mechanism introduced in this study provides adequate compliance with a single linear actuator ...
