... surfaces. A key contribution is a 3D-printed compliant footpad with passive adhesion and tendon-driven detachment, reducing energy consumption compared to active adhesion techniques. The robot’s simple two-legged design minimizes fabrication complexity, weight, and power needs, which are critical for wall...

... using the principle of virtual work, and its results are compared with those obtained from a simulation model in finite element analysis (FEA). A 3D printed physical model is tested to obtain the relationship between forces and displacements. FEA and experimental results match with theoretical findings...

... tristable structure leaf spring 3D printing mechanism design soft robots Soft grippers can grip objects of various shapes by deforming their fingers. Many soft gripper configurations are inspired by nature; for example, some have animal and plant characteristics. Some grippers utilize flexible...
