Octopus-Mimicking Soft Grippers: Review in Biomimetics
A co-first-author review comparing the structures, sensing approaches, and control methods of octopus-inspired grippers.
A co-first-authored review in Biomimetics surveys octopus-inspired soft grippers across three functional dimensions: structural and sensing devices, control strategies, and AI-driven applications. It maps suction-cup geometries, tentacle-like actuators, and hybrid designs toward more capable, intelligent soft robots.
