Recently, there has been an increasing need for automation, which is also addressed using of soft grippers. These are pneumatic muscles designed for adaptive and safe manipulation of various objects. In this thesis, we focused on the production of grippers using the rotational casting process. At the beginning of the thesis, we developed molds and tools for casting. The grippers were then cast from composites with different reinforcing fibers. We also produced various test specimens made from the same materials as the grippers. These specimens were subsequently tested in a tensile test. Experimental tests showed that different fiber reinforcements affect the physical properties of the material. The main results were then graphically presented and commented on.
