Soft robots have advantages such as low weight and compact size compared to rigid robots.
Variable stiffness is one of the key methods of improving the performance of a soft robot. 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 …

A new variable stiffness four-finger soft gripper with a combination of rigid and soft structures
is designed. The combination of rigid and soft structures is one of the methods to improve …

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 grippers are widely studied and utilized in soft robotics owing to their advantages in
terms of compliance, safety, and adaptability. Limited by the mechanical design and driving …

This work describes a new kind of soft gripper. Inspiration on nature is usual in Soft Robotics
device creation. In this case, the inspiration came from a sea lamprey in order to create a …

In the growing field of study known as “soft robotics,“highly adaptable robots are built for soft
interactions by utilizing the acquiescence, and flexibility of soft structures. The substantial …

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 …

Pneumatic soft grippers made of silicone have been successfully applied in the industrial
field of grabbing fragile objects. But their inherent low stiffness often limits the practical …

This article presents a two-finger soft-robotic gripper with enveloping grasping (EG) and
pinching grasping (PG) modes. The proposed soft-robotic gripper is based on a two-finger …
