Taking inspiration from nature, the work presented in this paper aims to develop bio-inspired claws to be used for grasping and perching in flapping-wing aerial systems. These claws can be 3D printed out of two different materials and will be capable of adapt to any shape. Also, they will be soft for avoiding undesired damages on the objects when performing manipulation. These claws will be actuat...
