Active suction cup actuated by ElectroHydroDynamics phenomenon

Yu Kuwajima, Hiroki Shigemune, Vito Cacucciolo, Matteo Cianchetti, Cecilia Laschi, Shingo Maeda

IROS 2017poster

Designing and manufacturing actuators using soft materials are among the most important subjects for future robotics. In nature, animals made by soft tissues such as the octopus have attracted the attention of the robotics community in the last years. Suckers (or suction cups) are one of the most im…
