Soft Collaborative Gripper for Dressing Assistance

, 2022
We present the DressGripper, a collaborative gripper designed for safe interactions in wearing operations. The DressGripper accounts for the two main goals that have to be achieved by a robotic system designed for helping people to get dressed: i) to be intrinsically safe and ii) to keep firmly the cloth during the dressing operations. The DressGripper

Bonding of Acrylic Pressure‐Sensitive Adhesives and Silicone Elastomers via Surfactant‐Assisted Plasma Activation for Soft Robotics

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
A simple strategy is presented for bonding acrylic PSAs and silicone elastomers by curing surfactant‐doped Ecoflex on oxygen‐plasma‐treated VHB. The interface reaches a maximum strength of 1.6 N/mm (over 20 times that of the control) while retaining material compliance.
