In this paper, a novel robotic gripper design with variable stiffness is proposed and
fabricated using a modified additive manufacturing (hereafter called 3D printing) process …

In this article, we have proposed a novel robotic finger design principle aimed to address
two challenges in soft pneumatic grippers—the controllability of the stiffness and the …

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 …

This article presents an innovative, motor-driven, three-finger compliant gripper for adaptive
grasping of size-varied delicate objects. An optimized compliant finger design is identified …

This article investigates some aspects related to the design, modeling, prototyping, and
testing of soft–rigid tendon-driven grippers. As a case study, we present the design and …

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 …

This article presents the design of a variable stiffness, soft, three-fingered dexterous gripper.
The gripper uses two designs of McKibben muscles. Extensor muscles that increase in …

This article presented a four-fingered soft bionic robotic gripper with variable effective
actuator lengths. By combining approaches of finite element analysis, quasi-static analytical …

In this study, a novel variable stiffness robotic finger composed of a soft pneumatic actuator
and pin heaters embedded in a shape memory polymer (SMP) substrate is presented. The …

In this paper, we present a novel compliant robotic gripper with three variable stiffness
fingers. While the shape morphing of the fingers is cable-driven, the stiffness variation is …
