Coffee "powered" robotic gripper

Hello Future Engineer,

You may have read my post favoring simple solutions earlier. IEEE Spectrum magazine recently published an article about robotic gripper (think of your palm and fingers as gripping mechanism) that was made out of balloon and filled with ground coffee. You can read (and watch video clips of the same) by clicking here.

Great minds favor simplicity (but not triviality).

For other interesting articles, please be sure to visit the Inver Hills Community College's library. The library started subscription to IEEE Spectrum (the flagship magazine of IEEE) since Jan 2010.
