A Gripper System With Soft Dielectric Elastomer Functional Units for Actuation, Sensing, and Signal Processing

This paper presents a soft gripper system in which actuation, sensing, and signal processing are all realized using soft dielectric elastomer (DE) devices. The platform integrates three functional units: a multilayer dielectric elastomer actuator (DEA) module that drives a compliant two-finger gripp
