English: "We highlight the ability of the necrobotic gripper to grasp various objects with different masses, mobj, and geometries. a) We show a closed circuit (LED on) which was then disconnected (LED off) when the necrobotic gripper removed a jumper wire that was affixed to the electric breadboard. The jumper wire is 0.64 times the mass of the necrobotic gripper and requires additional force to overcome friction when removing it from the breadboard. b) The necrobotic gripper also successfully grasps a spider which is 1.34 times the gripper's mass and has an irregular shape. c) We demonstrate that the necrobotic gripper can pick up objects with larger volumes by picking up a block of red-dyed polyurethane foam (2.6 times the volume and 0.92 times the mass of the gripper). d) Furthermore, we show an untethered configuration for the necrobotic gripper by directly connecting a handheld pressure source to the needle of the necrobotic gripper, thereby converting it into a portable device. The handheld necrobotic gripper is able to transport a white polyurethane foam block (0.45 times the mass of the necrobotic gripper) from one location to another, and is not tethered to bulky control infrastructure."
