Article Synopsis
  • A biomimetic sucker design featuring a V-shaped notch was developed, demonstrating the ability to switch between high and low friction states while maintaining strong adhesion, enhancing performance by up to 94%.*
  • Two robots, the Adhesion Sliding Robot-1 (ASR-1) and Adhesion Sliding Robot-2 (ASR-2), were created to mimic these natural suckers, achieving successful movement on various surfaces and under challenging water conditions, indicating potential applications in environmental monitoring.*

Soft robots, especially soft robotic hands, possess prominent potential for applications in close proximity and direct contact interaction with humans due to their softness and compliant nature. The safety perception of users during interactions with soft robots plays a crucial role in influencing trust, adaptability, and overall interaction outcomes in human-robot interaction (HRI). Although soft robots have been claimed to be safe for over a decade, research addressing the perceived safety of soft robots still needs to be undertaken.
