A bioinspired stiffness tunable sucker for passive adaptation and firm attachment to angular substrates

The ability to adapt and conform to angular and uneven surfaces improves the suction cup’s performance in grasping and manipulation. However, in most cases, the adaptation costs lack of required stiffness for manipulation after surface attachment; thus, the ideal scenario is to have compliance durin...
