Researchers from the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) 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.
