A variable compliance, soft gripper [PDF]
Autonomous Robots, 2013 Autonomous grasping is an important but challenging task and has therefore been intensively addressed by the robotics community. One of the important issues is the ability of the grasping device to accommodate varying object shapes in order to form a stable, multi-point grasp.

Embodied computation in soft gripper [PDF]
Proceedings of the 2014 ACM/IEEE international conference on Human-robot interaction, 2014 We designed, created and tested an underactuated soft gripper able to hold everyday objects of various shapes and sizes without using complex hardware or control algorithms, but rather by combining sheets of flexible plastic materials and a single servo motor.

Beyond Soft Hands: Efficient Grasping With Non-Anthropomorphic Soft Grippers [PDF]
Frontiers in Robotics and AI, 2021 Grasping and manipulation are challenging tasks that are nonetheless critical for many robotic systems and applications. A century ago, robots were conceived as humanoid automata. While conceptual at the time, this viewpoint remains influential today.
