From: Angle-programmed tendril-like trajectories enable a multifunctional gripper with ultradelicacy, ultrastrength, and ultraprecision

Fig. 5

a–d The kirigami gripper integrated onto a commercially available robotic arm grasps an ultra-thin fiber (b), an ultra-thin polymer sheet (c). The gripper folds garments with the inset showing the unfolded garments (d). e–h The kirigami gripper integrated onto a prosthesis electrical terminal device (ETD) with closed and open states (f) controlled by electromyographic (EMG) signals of the wrist flexor and extensor, respectively. The kirigami gripper assists the prosthesis with opening a zipper (g) and turning a book page (h). Scale bars = 10 mm.
