Abstract

•A novel pneumatic soft sensor (PSS) for soft grippers is proposed.•PSS can be used as a contact force sensor and a curvature sensor.•PSS has a good deformability and can be easily integrated into a fully soft continuum gripper without restricting its behavior.•A novel soft pneumatic finger with simple structure and good self-sensing ability is presented.
