A Soft Robotic Gripper Based on Bioinspired Fingers.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference Nov 1, 2021
In the past, partly due to modeling complexities and technical constraints, fingers of soft grippers are rarely driven by high number of actuators, which leads to lack of dexterity. Here we propose a soft robotic gripper with modular anthropomorphic ...
