Significantly improving the load capacity of soft grippers while taking into account their
flexibility is a challenge that must be addressed to promote their application in more fields …

Most of the soft grippers with high payload cannot carry cumbersome control systems and
power sources themselves, and have to be tethered to external hardware through tubes and …

Compared with traditional rigid grippers, soft grippers are made of lightweight and soft
materials and have the characteristics of flexible contact and strong adaptability, which are …

For decades, various robotic grippers have been developed due to its necessity for the
robotic manipulators. In case of the conventional robotic grippers with rigid components, an …

This paper proposes a new variable stiffness soft gripper that enables high-performance
grasping tasks in industrial applications. The design of the proposed monolithic soft gripper …

Developing large, soft grippers with high omnidirectional load (above 40 kg) has always
been challenging. We address this challenge by developing a powerful soft gripper that can …

Various robotic grippers have been developed over the past several decades for robotic
manipulators. Especially, the soft grippers based on the soft pneumatic actuator (SPA) have …

Soft grippers have attracted increasing attention due to safer and more adaptable human–
machine and environment-machine interactions. However, it has always been a challenge …

Soft pneumatic actuators (SPAs) play an important role in leading the development of soft
robotics. However, due to the inherent characteristics of soft materials, the low driving force …

Soft grippers show adaptability and flexibility in grasping irregularly shaped and fragile
objects. However, the low loading capacity and less deformation limit the soft gripper for …
