Compliant and powerful UAV perching via MTRG.

Caption

(A) Perching behavior of biological and artificial systems. (B) Operational principle of our robotic gripper. (C) Energy variation of MTRG during operation. (D) Comparison of switching frequency f and force ratio κ between our paradigm and current bistable robotic grippers. Here, κ is defined as the ratio between failure force and triggering force. (E) Application demonstrations of our robotic gripper that is integrated into UAVs for implementing tasks such as grasping and perching, showing its potential for diverse scenarios.
