Adaptive Self-Sealing Suction-Based Soft Robotic Gripper

Metin Sitti, Sukho Song

While suction cups prevail as common gripping tools for a wide range of real-world parts and surfaces, they often fail to seal the contact interface when engaging with irregular shapes and textured surfaces. In this work, the authors propose a suction-base ...
