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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Pneumatic soft grippers have been widely studied. However, the structures and material
properties of existing pneumatic soft grippers limit their load capacity and manipulation …

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 …

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 …

This study presents the design and test of a novel self-adaptive soft gripper, integrating
pneumatic actuators and bistable carbon-fiber reinforced polymer laminates. The …
