Abstract
The intention of this research was to explore the use of soft robotics in manufacturing applications. My work focused on constructing a four-armed rubber/silicone gripper powered by pneumatics. The molding that formed the gripper’s shape was 3D printed, resulting in a robotic gripper called “Starfish,” due to its shape. I applied this technology to a production environment to explore possible future applications.
