Granular Jamming Soft Robotics - Grip Strength and Shock Absorption

The dataset contains two subsets related to the performance of different grains in two soft robotics test scenarios. The first shows the performance of various different grains when used in a "universal" granular jamming gripper to grip various objects, with retention force measured by a load cell. The second shows performance of the same grains when used as a shock absorbing component to reduce damage to robots during falls, etc. The data aims to guide researchers interested in granular jamming soft robotics in choosing their components to maximise performance.
