Stable grip of wet, deformable objects is a challenging task for robotic grasping and manipulation, especially for food products' handling. The wet, slippery interfaces between the object and robotic fingers may require larger gripping force, resulting in higher risk of damaging the grasped object. This research aims to evaluate the role of micro-patterned soft pad on enhancement of wet adhesion i...
