Abstract
Space Debris Capture Robotics Flexible robots have shown promising adaptability and dexterity in space capture owing to their inherent compliance. In article number 2200468, Yongchang Zhang and colleagues present a flytrap-inspired bistable origami-based gripper for rapid active debris removal. The proposed gripper can realize ultrafast effective capture of space debris models, and it exhibits good adaptability with targets having complex shapes and sizes.
