Project Description
Soft robotics is an emerging field with strong potential to serve in various applications for object manipulation due to its advantages, such as low costs and shallow learning curves. In this research, we propose to design modular, reconfigurable, pneumatic soft robotic grippers. The traditional mechanical grippers (e.g., two fingers type or three fingers type) are not suitable to grasp irregularly shaped objects. Unlike stiff mechanical gripper, the proposed soft robotic grippers can grasp objects of different shapes and sizes. The objective of this project to design and develop a functional soft robotic gripper.
