SoftClaw

Overview

The qb SoftClaw is a compact, light and versatile Variable Stiffness™ gripper. It seems like a traditional claw but smarter and with the intrinsic ability to adapt the applied strength to whatever object it is gripping, without the use of any type of sensor on the contact surfaces or specific algorithms on the current absorbed by the motors. These aspects make it a versatile, light, economical and very easy to use device.
