Teamwork makes the dreamwork.
Researchers from the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences have developed a new type of soft, robotic gripper that utilizes thin tentacles to grasp fragile or priceless objects.
The team of researchers turned to nature to take some inspiration from while designing the gripper and avoided complex mechanisms such as embedded sensors feedback loops or advanced machine learning algorithms along with the skill of an operator.Tentacles alone are not that strong to get the job done; however, the filaments grasp and hold heavy or irregularly shaped objects together –just like.
“With this research, we wanted to reimagine how we interact with objects,” said Kaitlyn Becker, former graduate student and postdoctoral fellow at SEAS and first author of the paper, in apublished by the institution. “By taking advantage of the natural compliance of soft robotics and enhancing it with a compliant structure, we designed a gripper that is greater than the sum of its parts and a grasping strategy that can adapt to a range of complex objects with minimal planning and perception.
