The article "This soft robotic gripper can screw in your light bulbs for you"(2017) introduces how in 2017, a team of engineers at the University of California San Diego designed and built a soft robotic grip and its features. The soft robotic gripper can "pick up and manipulate objects without needing to see them and needing to be trained." It has three fingers made of pneumatic chambers with many degrees of freedom allowing manipulation of the held object. A smart sensing skin made of silicon rubber with embedded sensors made of conducting carbon nanotubes covers each of these three fingers. The sensing skin records and detects the nanotubes’ conductivity changing as the fingers bend. The data is then processed by the control board, which then creates a 3D model of the object the gripper is manipulating. The developers' future additions would be to add artificial intelligence and machine learning to recognize the manipulated objects.
