Magnetically switchable soft suction grippers
Extreme Mechanics Letters, 2021 Grasping is one of the key tasks for robots. Gripping fragile and complex three-dimensional (3D) objects without applying excessive contact forces has been a challenge for traditional rigid robot grippers. To solve this challenge, soft robotic grippers have been recently proposed for applying small forces and for conforming to complex 3D object shapes ...

Fabric‐Based Star Soft Robotic Gripper
Advanced 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
