Article Highlights An eco-friendly underactuated soft gripper is presented and described for application in the waste industry, to help or partially replace humans in harmful works. Its design oriented to sustainability is described and the mechanical characteristics are analyzed by Finite Element Modelling (FEM). Results and different application strategies for the waste industry are presented and discussed.
