Self‐Closing and Self‐Healing Multi‐Material Suction Cups for Energy‐Efficient Vacuum Grippers

While vacuum grippers offer an economical solution, the environmental impact of energy waste through their suction cups (SCs) cannot be overlooked. This waste stems from three key factors: i) air losses from idle SCs arranged in arrays, ii) inadequate sealing on target surfaces leading to air leaks,...
