Anthropomorphic robotic grippers are required for robots, prostheses, and orthosis to enable manipulation of a priori unknown and variable-shape objects. It has to meet a wide range of sometimes contradictory requirements in terms of adaptivity, dexterity, high payload to weight ratio, robustness, aesthetics, compactness, lightweight, etc. Within this paper, we utilize the morphological computatio...
