SIMBA: Tendon-Driven Modular Continuum Arm with Soft Reconfigurable Gripper
In this paper, we describe the conceptual design and implementation of the Soft Compliant Manipulator for Broad Applications (SIMBA) manipulator, which is designed and developed for participating in the RoboSoft Grand Challenge 2016. In our novel design, we have proposed (1) a modular continuum arm with independent actuation units for each module, to increase maintainability; (2) a soft reconfi...
متن کاملVacuum Gripper- an Important Material Handling Tool
Varieties of robotic grippers are developed with high flexibility and multi-functional approaches. In this paper, the study is an innovative approach of a gripper for handling variable size, shape and weight of unpacked food products i.e. ‘Vacuum Gripper of Robots’ which is working on Bernoulli Principle for generating a high-speed flow between the gripper plate and product surface thereby crea...
متن کاملMango postharvest handling and firmness assessment with a robotic gripper
The mango fruit (Mangifera indica) is a highly appreciated fruit by the consumers. One of the most significant quality aspects of mango is its firmness as it represents ripeness. Destructive tests are still commonly used as an instrumental reference for texture measurements. However, during the last two decades there has been an increasing interest in nondestructive fruit quality inspection. Th...
متن کاملTwo IPMC Fingers Based Micro Gripper For Handling
This paper presents the behavior of two finger based micro gripper which is made of Ionic Polymer Metal Composite (IPMC), an Electro Active Polymer (EAP). An IPMC shows great potential as high‐ displacement and light weight actuator. Low mass force generation capability is utilized for micro gripping in micro assembly. IPMC responds to low voltage in the...
متن کاملA soft-polymer piezoelectric bimorph cantilever-actuated peristaltic micropump.
A peristaltic micropump was fabricated and characterized. The micropump was fabricated using soft lithography, and actuated using piezoelectric bimorph cantilevers. The micropump channel was formed by bonding two layers of PDMS, mixed at 5:1 and 30:1 ratios. The channel was fabricated in the 5:1 layer using replica molding (REM), where a very simple and inexpensive template was made by straddli...
