An Electrostatic/Gecko-Inspired Adhesives Soft Robotic Gripper

Vahid Alizadehyazdi, Michael Bonthron, Matthew Spenko

RA-L 2020

Compared to traditional grippers, soft grippers can typically grasp a wider range of objects, including ones that are soft, fragile, or irregularly shaped, but at the cost of a relatively low gripping force. To increase gripping force for soft grippers, this research presents a gripper with an integ

Ultrasonic and Electrostatic Self-Cleaning Microstructured Adhesives for Robotic Grippers

Vahid Alizadehyazdi, Elizabeth McQueney, Koki Tanaka, Matthew Spenko

IROS 2018poster

This paper introduces electrostatic and ultrasonic techniques to clean dust and other contaminants from the surface of a gecko-like, microstrutured adhesive. The result is a non-destructive, non-contact cleaning method that will afford robotic grippers, climbing robots, and perching robots the abili…
