A Soft Robotic Gripper Mimics a Woven Structure

Utilizing soft, flexible materials such as cloth, paper, and silicone, soft robotic grippers is an essential device that acts like a robot’s hand to perform functions such as safely grasping and releasing objects. Unlike conventional rigid material grippers these are more flexible and safe. However, their low load capacity makes it difficult for them to lift heavy objects, and their poor grasping stability makes it easy to lose the object even under mild external impact.
