Abstract: Described are techniques for appropriately gripping objects by robots. A target object (e.g., circuit board) is identified to be gripped by a robotic arm of a robot, such as a robot in an industrial facility. Upon identifying the target object to be gripped by the robotic arm, the attributes of the target object are determined. One or more pores of the robotic arm may then be selected to be enabled to secrete an adhesive based on the attributes of the target object. Furthermore, the adhesion level corresponding to the amount of the adhesive to be secreted by the selected pores of the robotic arm is determined based on the attributes of the target object. The selected one or more pores of the robotic arm are then activated to secrete the adhesive according to the adhesion level in order to appropriately grip the target object by the robotic arm.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method, according to one approach, includes: receiving a request to deliver one or more microparticles from a start location to a target location along a delivery path.
