Soft robotic grippers are becoming increasingly popular for agricultural and logistics automation. Their passive conformability enables them to adapt to varying product shapes and sizes, providing stable large-area grasps. This work presents a novel methodology for combining soft robotic grippers with electrical impedance tomography-based sensors to infer intrinsic properties of grasped fruits. We...
