A Lightweight Soft Gripper Driven by Self-Sensing Super-Coiled Polymer Actuator

This study proposes a soft gripper driven by a simple, lightweight, low-cost, self-sensing super-coiled polymer (SCP) actuator with a high power-to-weight ratio. SCP generates an untwisting motion when heated, and therefore, is suitable for designing the actuator. The actuator is fabricated with a m
