The DBCF-EM Gripper: Using Dual-Belt Curved-Flexure Eversion Mechanism Fingers for Confined-Space Robotic Grasping

A. E. Huisjes, J. H. B. Friederich, Just L. Herder

RA-L 2026

Conventional fingered grippers often struggle in confined spaces because limited lateral access prevents finger insertion and inward closing. This letter presents the DBCF-EM gripper, whose fingers combine a base-driven curved flexure, prescribing a tangential object-following trajectory, with a dua

A Compact McKibben Muscle Based Bending Actuator for Close-to-Body Application in Assistive Wearable Robots

Martin Tschiersky, Edsko E. G. Hekman, Dannis M. Brouwer, Just L. Herder, Koichi Suzumori

RA-L 2020

In this letter we demonstrate a pneumatic bending actuator for upper-limb assistive wearable robots which uses thin McKibben muscles in combination with a flexure strip. The actuator features both active soft actuation and passive gravity support, and in terms of force transmission bridges the gap b
