      Design and Creation of Biomimetic, Soft Robotic Gripping Mechanisms with a Focus on Tarsal Structures


      Julian Winand, Stanislav Gorb


      Tarsal chains of insects are unique grasping and locomotion devices that require very little actuation to perform their function, in some cases going down to even a single tendon/muscle. In spite of this, they are able to adapt to a large range of tasks. This phenomenon is commonly called morphological encoding or morphological computation. This project aims to capitalize on this approach to design a novel soft-robotic end effector.
