Tentacle robotic can gently grasp fragile objects

Taking inspiration from nature, researchers designed a brand new sort of sentimental, robotic gripper that makes use of a group of skinny tentacles to entangle and ensnare objects, much like how jellyfish gather shocked prey. Alone, particular person tentacles, or filaments, are weak. However collectively, the gathering of filaments can grasp and securely maintain heavy and oddly formed objects. The gripper depends on easy inflation to wrap round objects and does not require sensing, planning, or suggestions management.
