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

Adaptive Self‐Sealing Suction‐Based Soft Robotic Gripper [PDF]

open access: yesAdvanced Science, 2021
AbstractWhile suction cups prevail as common gripping tools for a wide range of real‐world parts and surfaces, they often fail to seal the contact interface when engaging with irregular shapes and textured surfaces. In this work, the authors propose a suction‐based soft robotic gripper where suction is created inside a self‐sealing, highly conformable ...

A variable compliance, soft gripper [PDF]

open access: yesAutonomous 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]

open access: yesProceedings 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.
