Soft growing robots with unique navigation (tip extension by eversion) hold great promise in rescue, medical, and industrial applications. Equipping them with grasping capability would enhance their usefulness in constrained environments for various applications. However, in traditional designs, the tip’s eversion naturally conflicts with grasping, and the addition of grippers at the tip would lim...
