Proposal of a shape adaptive gripper for robotic assembly tasks
Advanced Robotics, 2016•Taylor & Francis
This paper proposes a novel robotic gripper used for assembly tasks that can adaptively
grasp objects with different shapes. The proposed hand has a combined structure between
two kinds of shape adaptive mechanisms where one is the granular jamming and the other
is a multi-finger mechanism driven by a single wire. Due to the effect of the two shape
adaptive mechanisms, the pose of a grasped object does not change during an assembly
operation. The proposed hand has four fingers where two are the active ones and the other …

This paper proposes a novel robotic gripper used for assembly tasks that can adaptively grasp objects with different shapes. The proposed hand has a combined structure between two kinds of shape adaptive mechanisms where one is the granular jamming and the other is a multi-finger mechanism driven by a single wire. Due to the effect of the two shape adaptive mechanisms, the pose of a grasped object does not change during an assembly operation. The proposed hand has four fingers where two are the active ones and the other two are the passive ones. The pose of the grasped object can be uniquely determined since the passive fingers are used to orient an object placed on a table before the active fingers are closed to grasp it. Assembly experiments of some kinds of parts are shown to validate the effectiveness of our proposed gripper.
