- Title: Stiffness Patterned Nonhomogeneous Soft Gripper for Task-Oriented Design Optimization
- Content: The research presents design and manufacturing method of pneumatic soft grippers that can be bent in any direction by patterning the bending stiffness of the bottom of the structure. It confirms the possibility of designing soft grippers with a high grasping ability in accordance with the shape of the given object and the goal of the task.
