Peeling in electroadhesion soft grippers
Extreme Mechanics Letters, 2022 Abstract Electroadhesion endows robots with super-human abilities: mechanical geckoes that climb vertical walls and soft grippers that grasp the most delicate objects. Based on electrostatics, the adhesion forces are turned on and off by an electrical signal, promising extremely fast operation, from silent fully solid-state devices.

Adjustable compliance soft gripper system [PDF]
International Journal of Advanced Robotic Systems, 2019 This article proposes a novel, innovative, soft gripper system developed for the manipulation of objects of unknown or unspecified shape and consistence. This could be achieved by the utilization of a linear pneumatic muscle benefitting from an inherently compliant behaviour.

Soft Pneumatic Gripper With a Tendon-Driven Soft Origami Pump [PDF]
Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2020 In this study, we propose a soft pneumatic gripper that uses a tendon-driven soft origami pump. The gripper consists of three pneumatic soft actuators that are controlled by a tendon-driven origami pump. An external air compressor that supplies air to the pneumatic actuator is replaced by an origami pump.
