Introduction  \nWe are right on the edge of the fourth industrial revolution. As industries are transitioning towards automation and digitalization of their production lines, the need for smart grippers has grown rapidly. The goal for this transformation is to increase efficiency, speed, and quality of objects manipulation [1,2] . For nearly half a century, robotic grippers have relied on various technologies, such as suction and vacuum, electrostatic and magnetic attraction, and, most widespread, mechanical gripping [3] . Since the development of gecko-inspired fibrillar polymer surfaces [4e12], a new gripping principle is now in the process of entering the market [13e19]: manipulation of objects by microfibrillar elastomer surfaces, whose adhesion can be  \nswitched on and off. Such surfaces achieve, after application of small compressive preloads, strong adhesion by van der Waals interaction and allow residue-free and silent handling, effective in both air and vacuum conditions [20e22] . These properties promise significant benefits over conventional gripping technologies, especially in manipulation of delicate and fragile objects of diverse sizes and geometries.  \nObject manipulation has to also work under non-ideal conditions. It has to tolerate loss of the intimate contact with the target object due to interfacial defects or due to inevitable alignment inaccuracies [23e25] . As opposed to previous assumptions, it has been proven by Tinnemann et al.  \n[26] that the different fibrils behave largely independent from each other and can have widely distributed individual  \n* Corresponding author.
