Ionogels: materials design, properties, and emerging applications in advanced electrochemical and bioelectronic systems

Figure 9. Flexible gripping robot utilizing ionogel sensors for object manipulation. (A) Examples of manipulator poses. Photographs of the soft gripper during no (left), base-only (center), and full-finger actuation at inflation pressure of 140 kPa. Scale bar is 15 mm; (B-D) Examples of object grasping; (B and C) Examples of grasping poses are shown for holding a toy strawberry (B) and pear (C) during base-only (left) and full-finger actuation (right); (D) Examples of objects that can be grasped by the soft gripper with appropriate pre-grasp orientation. Inflation pressure is 140 kPa in each photograph. Scale bars are 15 mm. (A-D) Reproduced with permission from ref.[31], Copyright 2019, IEEE.
