Soft bioinspired manipulators have a theoretically infinite number of degrees of freedom, providing considerable advantages. However, their control is very complex, making it challenging to model the elastic elements that define their structure. Finite elements (FEA) can provide a model with sufficient accuracy but are inadequate for real-time use.

It also allows a more immersive experience with virtual reality devices. This paper presents the development of a soft haptic glove for kinesthetic perception.

- Soft grippers are becoming popular because they can easily handle various objects without causing damage, unlike hard grippers that are specific to one item.
- In this study, four types of soft grippers were developed and tested: two with pneumatic actuation and two with electromechanical actuation, using twelve different objects in varying environmental conditions.
- The results revealed that the gripper with a passive structure stands out for its superior robustness compared to others tested under the same conditions.*
