In this paper, we propose a lip-inspired passive jamming gripper by mimicking teeth structures from a dog's oral structure. Animal lips are hydrostatic structures. To mimic the features, which are usually soft but rigid when contacted, we used the passive particle jamming effect. To increase the adaptability of our previous gripper to grasp various shaped objects, we focused on the dogs' oral stru...
