Evolving soft robotic jamming grippers

Proceedings of the Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference, 2021
Jamming Grippers are a novel class of soft robotic actuators that can robustly grasp and manipulate objects of arbitrary shape. They are formed by placing a granular material within a flexible skin connected to a vacuum pump and function by pressing the un-jammed gripper against a target object and evacuating the air to transition the material to a ...

Industrial Robot Grippers

Industrial Robot: An International Journal, 1974
Investment in an industrial robot (IRb) is stimulated by applications that demand easy changes to achieve various tasks. If the shape of the object to be handled varies for each different task then the gripper must also be changed. Thus versatility is required and in this chapter a number of sketches and photographs of prototypes which have been built ...

A sensorized robot gripper

Robotics and Autonomous Systems, 1988
Abstract A sensorized gripper, capable of providing the robot controller with force feedback signals and with information on the position of the grasped object relative to the jaws, is likely to be a fundamental component of the future generations of assembly robotic systems. This paper describes the design, fabrication, and preliminary testing of a

Transparent grippers for robot vision

Proceedings of IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2002
While existing grippers execute manipulation tasks, they occlude parts of the objects they grasp as well as parts of the workspace from vision sensors. We present the concept of a transparent gripper that enables vision sensors to image an object without occlusion while it is being manipulated. The physics of refraction, total internal reflection, lens

A Robot Kinematic Gripper

1989
A unique kinematic gripper, based upon a design by Chase et al (1), has been constructed and commissioned in the laboratories of Queen’s Mechanical Engineering. The gripper is part of the robotic equipment at Queen’s Mechanical Engineering and is used in the development of end effector sensors (2,3 and 4).

Goals of robot gripper mechanics

Mechanism and Machine Theory, 1987
Abstract This paper is devoted to the methods of computation and analysis of equilibrium positions of the object in the robot gripping device, assuming that the contact between the object and gripper is maintained in a finite number of points. Problems of construction of computation models which make it possible to determine the reliability of ...

Force Sensitive Robotic Gripper

2016
Industrial robotic application of gripping unknown objects with two-finger gripper is a challenging task. A traditional grasp model does not fit the requirement of gripping unknown objects, as application of too much gripping force damages and deform the object; while small force results in slipping of the object.

Intelligent Robotic Gripper Control Strategy

Advanced Materials Research, 2013
Although, on-off control robot gripper is widely employed in pick-and-place operations, it can not be applied in fragile or soft objects handling. Here, an intelligent gripper is designed with embedded distributed control structure for overcoming the uncertainty of grasped object mass and soft/hard features.

Distributed Control Intelligent Robotic Gripper

Applied Mechanics and Materials, 2013
An intelligent gripper is designed with embedded distributed control structure for overcoming the uncertainty of grasped object mass and soft/hard features. An efficient model-free intelligent fuzzy sliding mode control strategy is employed to design the position and force controllers of gripper, respectively.
