Mechanisms and Computational Design of Multi-Modal End-Effector with Force Sensing Using Gated Networks

ICRA 2025

In limbed robotics, end-effectors must serve dual functions, such as both feet for locomotion and grippers for grasping, which presents design challenges. This paper introduces a multi-modal end-effector capable of transitioning between flat and line foot configurations while providing grasping capa
