| 摘要 | An electroadhesive gripping system includes a shear gripper. The shear gripper can include an electroadhesive surface associated with one or more electrodes and a load-bearing structure coupled to the electroadhesive surface. A power supply can be configured to apply voltage to the one or more electrodes associated with the electroadhesive surface. A controller can be configured to cause a voltage to be applied, via the power supply, to the one or more electrodes associated with the electroadhesive surface to thereby cause the first shear gripper to adhere to an item situated proximate the electroadhesive surface. The controller can be configured to cause a shear force to be applied to the adhered item, via the load-bearing structure, that is sufficient to move the adhered item. | ||

| 主权项 | 1. A system comprising: a first shear gripper including an electroadhesive surface associated with one or more electrodes and a load-bearing structure coupled to the electroadhesive surface; a power supply configured to electrically connect to the one or more electrodes associated with the electroadhesive surface; and a controller configured to (i) cause a voltage to be applied, via the power supply, to the one or more electrodes associated with the electroadhesive surface to thereby cause the first shear gripper to adhere to an item situated proximate the electroadhesive surface and (ii) cause a shear force to be applied to the adhered item, via the load-bearing structure, wherein the shear force is sufficient to move the adhered item. | ||
