Soft grippers, generating movement immediately, are generally based on flexible materials
actuated by air pressure and comprised of bulky parts, including valves,
compressors/pumps, motors, and tubes. In this work, a compact soft gripper with the ability to
actuate with a low boiling point liquid (acetone) is presented. SolidWorks 2021 software and
3D printing technology are used to design and manufacture the gripper molds, respectively.
The constitutive material of the soft gripper body is highly flexible Ecoflex. A silver‐coated …
