Rolling friction robot fingers [PDF]

open access: yes, 1992
A low friction, object guidance, and gripping finger device for a robotic end effector on a robotic arm is disclosed, having a pair of robotic fingers each having a finger shaft slideably located on a gripper housing attached to the end effector. Each of

Dexterous Manipulation Graphs

open access: yes, 2018
We propose the Dexterous Manipulation Graph as a tool to address in-hand manipulation and reposition an object inside a robot's end-effector. This graph is used to plan a sequence of manipulation primitives so to bring the object to the desired end pose.

Bioinspired Shape‐Memory Hook Fasteners With Programmable Interlocking and Silent Release

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Bioinspired hook fasteners made from epoxy shape‐memory polymers are shown to switch between strong, secure attachment and gentle, silent release when heated. By combining programmable geometry and material response, these adaptive fasteners outperform commercial systems in strength and noise control, enabling new solutions for robotics, medical ...

A Pneumatic Fingerless Soft Gripper for Envelope Gripping

open access: yesActuators
In grasping operations, when facing unstructured environments, the use of soft-body grippers can be a good solution to the problem of grasping objects that are inconvenient to grasp due to their fragility and irregularity.

Jacquard: A Large Scale Dataset for Robotic Grasp Detection

open access: yes, 2018
Grasping skill is a major ability that a wide number of real-life applications require for robotisation. State-of-the-art robotic grasping methods perform prediction of object grasp locations based on deep neural networks.

Evaluation of Plasticity and Creep Parameters From Tensile Stress–Strain Data for a Range of Strain Rates

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This plot compares experimental tensile stress–strain curves (with 4 different strain rates) and corresponding modelled curves (obtained using the optimised sets of Voce and Miller–Norton parameter values shown). The inferred M‐N values, characterizing the creep, are very similar to those obtained via conventional creep testing.

Smart, Bio‐Inspired Polymers and Bio‐Based Molecules Modified by Zwitterionic Motifs to Design Next‐Generation Materials for Medical Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Bio‐based and (semi‐)synthetic zwitterion‐modified novel materials and fully synthetic next‐generation alternatives show the importance of material design for different biomedical applications. The zwitterionic character affects the physiochemical behavior of the material and deepens the understanding of chemical interaction mechanisms within the ...

Design and Experiment of a Multi-mode Gripper

open access: yesJixie chuandong, 2023
In this study, a generalized gripper with multiple modes is designed so that it can grasp various sheet parts. The gripper lies in two sets of fingers and two sets of compact force transmission mechanisms. Firstly, a kinematic model of the hybrid spatial

Stable Prehensile Pushing: In-Hand Manipulation with Alternating Sticking Contacts

open access: yes, 2018
This paper presents an approach to in-hand manipulation planning that exploits the mechanics of alternating sticking contact. Particularly, we consider the problem of manipulating a grasped object using external pushes for which the pusher sticks to the ...
