Human hands are dexterous and capable of grasping objects of various shapes and manipulating the objects within the hands. Conventional soft grippers are able to grasp, but few can manipulate objects within the grippers. To fill this gap, this work designs a soft gripper with soft bellow actuators and soft twisting actuators, which can adaptively clutch objects and handle them in different postures in the gripper. Compared with the previous rigid grippers, this soft gripper possesses a higher…
