The advent of variable stiffness soft robotic grippers furnishes a conduit for exploration and
manipulation within uncharted, non-structured environments. The paper provides a …

Surgical simulators are valuable educational tools for physicians, enhancing their
proficiency and improving patient safety. However, they typically still suffer from a lack of …

Over recent decades, robots have become pervasive in various industries, yet their
presence in households remains limited despite the potential benefits they could offer …

Existing state-of-the-art stair climbing robots require precise control through many sensors
and actuators to climb various stairs. In this study, we propose WAVES, a stair-climbing robot …

Suction is widely used in industry, but the adaptation of state-of-the-art suction cups on
complex surfaces (ie, curved, cornered, uneven, rough, etc.) are still limited. In this letter, we …

In this paper, using a honeycomb-velcro structure to generate a novel jamming gripper is
explored. Each finger of the gripper consists of multi-layers with a honeycomb sandwich …

Jamming grippers, based on the principles of granular material jamming, have gathered
significant attention over the years. Jamming grippers can perform well in grasping objects …
