Combining Suction and Friction to Stabilize a Soft Gripper to Shear and Normal Forces, for Manipulation of Soft Objects in Wet Environments

RA-L 2022

Soft robotic gripping in wet environments is generally limited by the presence of a liquid that lubricates the interface between the gripper and an object being manipulated. The use of soft grippers is particularly beneficial for manipulating soft, delicate objects, yet is further limited by low gri

Locomotion via Active Suction in a Sea Star-Inspired Soft Robot

RA-L 2022

Some marine animals, such as sea stars, have developed versatile adhesive appendages that can be used for a variety of behaviors including sticking to surfaces, manipulating objects, and locomoting. These appendages couple reversible adhesion capabilities with muscular structures that can do work on
