Gripster a Jamming Suction Cup That Can Grip Corners and Odd Shapes

This is Gripster - a suction cup designed to grip not just smooth, flat surfaces, but awkward ones too. It uses vacuum jamming to create the lip of a suction cup and then vacuum in the internal chamber to suck onto objects. It can be used for grabbing large odd shaped objects. And for gripping to walls.

I did eventually find a research paper with a very similar rig to mine, but there base is not flexible. And they use a rigid suction cup.

That's actually a super smart idea fusing the two designs together. It seems like it does its job well, and i wonder how small could the balls in the silicon be, so it can conform even better to different textures, or how much it affects the grip. Also, i think some mold release would be a great friend for you with the molds for the silicone :) Can't wait for the next iteration, or an exploration what can you use it for

That's super cool! I don't fully understand the importance of the balls in the outer ring tho, have you tried any alternative approaches?

🔵 { O mankind, worship your Lord, who created you and those before you, that you may become righteous - ( 2:21 )
🔴 [He] who made for you the earth a bed [spread out] and the sky a ceiling and sent down from the sky, rain and brought forth thereby fruits as provision for you. So do not attribute to Allah equals while you know [that there is nothing similar to Him]. ( 2:22 )
🔵 And if you are in doubt about what We have sent down upon Our Servant [Muhammad], then produce a surah the like thereof and call upon your witnesses other than Allah, if you should be truthful. ( 2:23 )
🔴 But if you do not - and you will never be able to - then fear the Fire, whose fuel is men and stones, prepared for the disbelievers.( 2:24 )
🔵 And give good tidings to those who believe and do righteous deeds that they will have gardens [in Paradise] beneath which rivers flow. Whenever they are provided with a provision of fruit therefrom, they will say, "This is what we were provided with before." And it is given to them in likeness. And they will have therein purified spouses, and they will abide therein eternally. ( 2:25 )
