An investigation into biomimetic gripping based on insect tarsal chains
Existing robotic grippers can be highly capable in terms of precision and power, but tend to lack versatility. Over the last decades, this fact has resulted in the inception of soft grippers - systems that are softer, more compliant and - often - come without discrete joints. These properties make …
