There is an increasing interest in soft robotic grippers as they exhibit an ability to grip objects of differing shapes, sizes, textures, and even deformable materials, all of which present a difficult challenge to traditional rigid grippers. An ideal soft gripper would exhibit universal gripping with high gripping force and consists of low-cost materials with simple fabrication processes. This pa...
