Squirrel-inspired Tendon-driven Passive Gripper for Agile Landing

Squirrels exhibit agile leaping between tree branches, often using non-prehensile gripping with compliant and passively adaptive fingers. We aim to test the utility of such gripping in agile robotic maneuvering. In the present study, we first examine the parametric design of a squirrel-inspired unde…
