Grasping and manipulation are fundamental ways for many creatures to interact with their
environments. Different morphologies and grasping methods of “grippers” are highly …

Aiming at accelerating the creation of new techniques on dexterous robotic manipulations,
this paper surveyed the recent results on object recognition, soft robotic hands, and …

Realizing high-performance soft robotic grippers is challenging because of the inherent
limitations of the soft actuators and artificial muscles that drive them, including low force …

Robotic hands with unique designs, capabilities and applications have been presented in
the literature focusing on sensing, actuation, control, powering and manufacturing, most of …

A novel robotic gripper with soft surfaces and underactuated joints was proposed. The soft
surface was fabricated from a deformable rubber bag filled with incompressible fluid and a …

Soft matter capacitive sensors are developed and integrated into the silicone skin of finger
tips and palm of a robotic hand. Distributed sensing nodes are used for obtaining …

Bionic prosthetic hands hold the potential to replicate the functionality of human hands. The
use of bionic limbs can assist amputees in performing everyday activities. This article …

This article deals with upper limb prosthetic made by 3D printing technology. For tests and
analysis the number of open-source bionic hands (eNable and exiii's HACKberry projects) …

This letter presents a novel small gripper capable of grasping various types of small-sized
items from flat surfaces for the assembly of small devices. Using a single actuator, the …

This article's primary objective is to investigate the topological optimization of soft robotic
grips, using hybrid topology optimization. For the goal of creating light weight and porous …
