Abstract
This paper considers a wide range of techniques which are applicable to the provision of both passive and active mechanical compliance for the purposes of developing effective shape adaptive robot end-effectors. Some results on the measurement of the characteristics of memory foams useful for this type of application together with some potential implementations are presented. Aspects of the controllability of such compliant mediums are also compared.<>
