Compared with rigid grippers, soft grippers show fantastic adaptability and flexibility in
grasping irregularly shaped and fragile objects. However, the low stiffness of the soft …

The compliance of soft grippers contributes to their great superiority over rigid grippers in
grasping irregularly shaped objects and forming soft contact with environments. Due to a …

In soft bending gripper design, the concept of passive particle jamming can play an
important role in improving certain properties of the gripper. It has been proved that its …

For a good soft gripper, it is desirable to have many grasping modes, variable stiffness and
high load capacity in order to adapt to all sort of target objects. However, most of the existing …

This article presents the design principle and fabrication of a variable stiffness soft robotic
gripper for adaptive grasping and robust holding. The proposed robotic gripper is based on …

The actuation of soft robotics has relied predominantly on pneumatic or hydraulic
transmissions. However, these transmissions require good sealing and complicated valve …

This article presents a novel soft robotic gripper with a high payload capacity based on the
layer jamming technology. Soft robots have a high adaptability, however suffer a low …

In this work, we proposed an inflatable particle-jamming gripper based on a novel grasping
strategy of integrating the positive pressure and partial filling, in which the positive pressure …

This article describes a novel design of bioinspired soft robotic fingers based upon hybrid
jamming principle—integrated layer jamming and particle jamming. The finger combines a …

For soft grippers to be applied in atypical industrial environments, they must conform to an
object's exterior shape and momentarily change their stiffness. However, many of the …
