  1. 1 💎 ​ Introduction to Prof. Douglas Holmes
  2. 2 💎 ​ How did you come up with the idea of using kirigami shells for soft robotic grippers?
  3. 3 💎 ​ How do you determine the cut pattern? How do you know that a certain cut pattern will do the job? And also, what factors determine the cut patterns?
  4. 4 💎 ​ You used a type of polymer to make kirigami shells, but can people alter the material and still get the same result? Is the gripper design dependent on the material that you use? Do the cuts affe…
  5. 5 💎 How do you grasp slippery objects? How can you make sure that these slippery objects do not fall? Is the friction enough to hold them in place?
  6. 6 💎 What is the maximum weight that the grippers can handle? And how do you compensate for the less force transmission of soft grippers compared to rigid robotic grippers?
  7. 7 💎 Can you pick flat objects using kirigami shell grippers?
  8. 8 💎 The paper mentioned that one possible application of these grippers is in haptic assistant tools for people with hand deformities and disorders. Would you please elaborate on this and how these gr…
  9. 9 💎 Would you please briefly explain about possible applications? For instance, some people asked about applications in agriculture which is, I think, evident from the video, applications in healthcar…
  10. 10 💎 How do you keep the lab vibe, and do you also think that keeping a friendly, collaborative environment is important for the research outcome?
  11. 11 💎 What did you find most exciting about being a Professor?
  12. 12 💎 What are your hobbies?
  13. 13 💎 Concluding remarks including Prof. Holmes's contact information for possible collaboration.
  14. 14 💎 Casual verification of the research
  15. 15 💎 What others say about this research
