Intelligent Optically Powered Robot Gripper
SPIE Proceedings, 1989In the paper an intelligent optically powered robot gripper equipped with optical fiber sensors is proposed. The gripper's sensor system includes single sensor modules C an optical fiber slip sensor and an optical fiber colour sensor ) and systems of sensors (a 3-D optical fiber proximity sensing system, an optical fiber tactile matrix for tactile ...

Closed structure soft robotic gripper
2018 IEEE International Conference on Soft Robotics (RoboSoft), 2018This work describes a new kind of soft gripper. Inspiration on nature is usual in Soft Robotics device creation. In this case, the inspiration came from a sea lamprey in order to create a closed structure soft robotic gripper. Usually the grippers have one or more soft actuators that act like fingers.

A Controlled Impedance Robot Gripper
AT&T Technical Journal, 1985The design of robot grippers has traditionally involved pneumatics or gear reduction electric drives that do not allow for the control of the stiffness of the mechanism. The manipulation of fragile objects such as eggs or light bulbs requires the gripper to be able to close on the object with minimal impact forces, and yet maintain a static grip force ...

Magnetically Guided Soft Robotic Grippers
2019 2nd IEEE International Conference on Soft Robotics (RoboSoft), 2019Soft robotic grippers based on magnetorheological elastomers are proposed. Rigid nonmagnetic skeleton of the gripper is encased by an elastomer with magnetic properties that exhibits soft-touch properties and reacts to external magnetic field. The basic concept of the grippers, their operation and first prototypes are presented together with the ...

Memory foams for robot grippers
Fifth International Conference on Advanced Robotics 'Robots in Unstructured Environments, 1991This paper considers a wide range of techniques which are applicable to the provision of both passive and active mechanical compliance for the purposes of developing effective shape adaptive robot end-effectors. Some results on the measurement of the characteristics of memory foams useful for this type of application together with some potential ...

PERMATACK ADHESIVES FOR ROBOT GRIPPERS
Assembly Automation, 1991The use of chemical adhesives for the automated handling of materials, like most other techniques has a long and varied history. A patent for a paper sheet feeding mechanism was originally filed in 1941, and for textile handling in 1961. In both cases adhesive tapes capable of being automatically wound on are utilised in preference to tacky pads ...

Economics of robots and grippers
1985The price of adopting a robot consists of three elements: the basic robot, its accessories, and the cost of installation. As shown in Figure 15.1, the breakdown of these costs varies with the primary application. For assembly tasks, the values are: 1. Basic robot being 40% of the total system cost. 2. The accessories being 35% of the
