A robotic gripper made of paper lift objects 16000 times its own weight
Researchers at North Carolina State University have developed a robotic gripper, made out of a sheet of paper cut into ribbons using a technique similar to kirigami, the Japanese art of paper cutting.
The team found that the gripper could pick up water droplets, dandelion heads and weights, as well as perform simple manipulation tasks, like picking grapes, unzipping zips, turning the pages of a book and folding clothes.
