Grippers can be attached to objects in a rigid mode, and they are therefore used in various applications, for example granular jamming gripper. This paper introduces a cutting-edge radial layer jamming mechanism with is tunable stiffness, which is critical for the development of grippers. The layer jamming mechanism generates friction between the layers of multi cylindrical walls by pulling wire. This paper describes the principles of three types of proposed tendon-driven jamming mechanism, in addition to their prototypes of string configuration and the experiments conducted on the holding torques of their joints. Due to the string configuration, the surface and three-dimensional (3D) shape. This mechanism can be implemented in various applications.
