Testing

Movie of grabbing items

We used our final batches of ecoflex and with all our care and passion, created the perfect 4-arm PneuNet gripper using paper towels which worked repeatedly. Although all the arms still did not inflate at the same time, the gripper was successful in lifting objects less than 3/2 pounds. The addition of sticky tape and magnets further amplified our successes.

We tested the different objects the gripper could grab, and the effect of loads on the arm.
