Magic Ball Gripper

Catalogs:


Overview

A gripper that’s both soft and strong. It is a cone-shaped origami structure that collapses in on objects, much like a Venus flytrap, to pick up items that are as much as 100 times its weight. This motion lets the gripper grasp a much wider range of objects - such as soup cans, hammers, wine glasses, drones, and even a single broccoli floret.
