Despite good performance in grasping irregular fragile objects, soft grippers exhibiting low
stiffness, and carrying capacity lack multidirectional grasping ability in the case of inclination …

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 …

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 …

Highly flexible and environmentally adaptive soft robots have received considerable
attention. There remains a demand for soft robots to realize the stiffness modulation and …

Robotic grasping has become increasingly important in many application areas such as
industrial manufacturing and logistics. Because of the diversity and uncertainty of objects …

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 …

The goal of robotic manipulators is to grasp objects of irregular shapes with better precision
and efficiency. Universal grippers developed in recent years are designed with excessive …

In this study, we built a four-fingered soft robotic gripper with tunable effective finger lengths.
This robotic model is purely made of soft materials and allows two working modes that …

The robotic gripper is an essential component for handling, manipulating, and transporting
objects. However, the parallel rigid gripper, which is one of the most widely used grippers in …
