Soft Robotics and Bio-Inspired Grippers

Robotic end-effectors made from flexible materials that mimic human dexterity for delicate handling.

Moving beyond rigid metal claws, soft robotics use silicone, fluids, and air pressure to gently grasp fragile or irregular items like groceries, electronics, and textiles. These bio-inspired grippers enable automation in sectors previously reliant on manual labor due to the risk of product damage.
