Article Synopsis
- - The paper introduces a self-locking soft robot that mimics the human hand's ability to change finger stiffness for grasping various objects, using particle and fiber jamming techniques to achieve a wide range of stiffness.
- - A mathematical model is developed to determine when the robot can self-lock and how much it can flex under external force, with experimental results showing a maximum stiffness of 1223.58 N*m.
- - The research also explores the robot's adaptability to different shapes through experiments, establishing a new index for evaluating the adaptability of soft continuum robots, with the prototype achieving a bending angle of up to 108°.
