Design of a Variable Stiffness Soft Dexterous Gripper
This article presents the design of a variable stiffness, soft, three-fingered dexterous gripper. The gripper uses two designs of McKibben muscles. Extensor muscles that increase in length when pressurized are used to form the fingers of the gripper. Contractor muscles that decrease in length when pressurized are then used to apply forces to the fingers through tendons, which cause flexion and ...
متن کاملA dexterous robotic gripper for autonomous grasping
In advanced robotics applications in unstructured environments (e.g. those foreseen in space) some degree of dexterity and autonomy is necessary in order to safely and successfully execute the required tasks. With this respect, besides the kinematic configuration, important aspects to be considered in the design of robotic end effectors are the sensorial equipment and proper control strategies....
متن کاملA modular soft manipulator with variable stiffness
This paper presents the design of a single module composing a modular soft variable stiffness manipulator for minimal access surgery. The module exploits flexible fluidic actuation for obtaining multi directional bending and elongation capabilities. A novel flexible crimped braided sheath is introduced in order to increase the performances of the flexible actuator. Granular jamming based stiffe...
متن کاملNovel Design of a Soft Lightweight Pneumatic Continuum Robot Arm with Decoupled Variable Stiffness and Positioning
Soft robot arms possess unique capabilities when it comes to adaptability, flexibility, and dexterity. In addition, soft systems that are pneumatically actuated can claim high power-to-weight ratio. One of the main drawbacks of pneumatically actuated soft arms is that their stiffness cannot be varied independently from their end-effector position in space. The novel robot arm physical design pr...
متن کاملSensitive Active Surfaces on the Velvet II Dexterous Gripper
The Velvet Fingers [1] is a dexterous under-actuated gripper for unstructured industrial environments. It offers enhanced manipulability by means of Active Surfaces (AS) on its fingers, i. e., surfaces able to emulate different levels of friction and to apply tangential thrusts to the contacted object. The usefulness of the AS (implemented by controlled conveyor belts) is discussed in [2]. Alth...
