Eversion-Capable Fabric Robot Gripper with Novel Retraction Mechanism

Ahmed Hassan, Taqi Abrar, Faisal Aljaber, Ivan Vitanov, Kaspar Althoefer

IROS 2023poster

Soft grippers have a number of advantages over their conventional stiff-bodied counterparts; not only do they surpass them in ease of fabrication and safety but also, in many cases, require less complex control strategies - due to natural compliance and form-fitting plasticity. Pneumatically actuate…
