Fin Ray Robotics Gripper
Soft RoboticsCompliant MechanismsGripper DesignSilicone Molding
Passive-conformance gripper that exploits the fin ray effect — when an external force is applied, the structure curves toward the contact point, allowing the fingers to wrap around objects without active control.
- Designed a compliant gripper based on the fin ray effect for passive object conformance
- Fabricated silicone finger structures using mold casting
- Characterized grasping behavior across different object geometries
