Sleeved Bending Actuators for Soft Grippers: A Durable Solution for High Force-to-Weight Applications
Soft grippers are known for their ability to interact with objects that are fragile, soft or of an unknown shape, as well as humans in collaborative robotics applications. However, state-of-the-art soft grippers lack either payload capacity or durability, which limits their use in industrial applica...
