Squirrels exhibit agile leaping between tree branches, often using non-prehensile gripping with compliant and passively adaptive fingers. We aim to test the utility of such gripping in agile robotic maneuvering. In the present study, we first examine the parametric design of a squirrel-inspired underactuated gripper for passive landing on impact. We fix the geometry of the gripper and vary the joi...
