design a shape-shifting robot gripper with granular material

چکیده
in this paper, a new kind of gripper is designed. this universal gripper is proposed where different objects should be gripped easily, reliably within rapid succession without any feedback. by adding an annular balloon around the granular bag, a lateral force pushes the main membrane and increases the friction force between the bag and the load. according to the acquired test results reported in this paper, the modification on this new robotic gripping mechanism is effective and the success rate of the gripper is formulated considering the influential parameters and it can provide a good estimation for a gripper design.

Shape tolerance for robot gripper jaws
In [19] we specified robot grippers that can orient and grasp parts with an arrangement of trapezoidal jaw modules. Since jaw modules may be imprecisely machined, we define a parametric tolerance class such that part alignment is guaranteed for all jaw geometry in the class. This tolerance class is derived based on analysis of toppling, motion trajectory, and form-closure. Given maximal jaw geo...
متن کاملUniversal robotic gripper based on the jamming of granular material
Gripping and holding of objects are key tasks for robotic manipulators. The development of universal grippers able to pick up unfamiliar objects of widely varying shape and surface properties remains, however, challenging. Most current designs are based on the multifingered hand, but this approach introduces hardware and software complexities. These include large numbers of controllable joints,...
متن کاملTerrain Perception in a Shape Shifting Rolling-Crawling Robot
Terrain perception greatly enhances the performance of robots, providing them with essential information on the nature of terrain being traversed. Several living beings in nature offer interesting inspirations which adopt different gait patterns according to nature of terrain. In this paper, we present a novel terrain perception system for our bioinspired robot, Scorpio, to classify the terrain...
متن کاملDesign and Implementation of A Shape Shifting Rolling–Crawling–Wall-Climbing Robot
Designing an urban reconnaissance robot is highly challenging work given the nature of the terrain in which these robots are required to operate. In this work, we attempt to extend the locomotion capabilities of these robots beyond what is currently feasible. The design and unique features of our bio-inspired reconfigurable robot, called Scorpio, with rolling, crawling, and wall-climbing locomo...

ABSTRACT Assembly line reliability can be increased if grippers are carefully designed to capture and align parts. Jaw design depends on the...
متن کاملA cohesive granular material with tunable elasticity
By mixing glass beads with a curable polymer we create a well-defined cohesive granular medium, held together by solidified, and hence elastic, capillary bridges. This material has a geometry similar to a wet packing of beads, but with an additional control over the elasticity of the bonds holding the particles together. We show that its mechanical response can be varied over several orders of ...
