On Planning Immobilizing Grasps for a Recon gurable Gripper
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a new reconngurable gripper that consists of two parallel plates whose distance can be adjusted by a computer-controlled actuator. The bottom plate is a bare plane, and the top plate carries a rectangular grid of actuated pins that can translate in discrete increments under computer control. We propose to use this gripper to immobilize objects through frictionless contacts with three of the pins and the bottom plate. We present an eecient grasp planning algorithm, describe the design of the grip-per, which is currently under construction, and report preliminary simulation experiments.

Geometry and Algorithms for Part Fixturing, Grasping and Manipulation with Modular Fixturing Elements, a New Reconfigurable Gripper and Mobile Robots
This thesis addresses the problem of immobilizing and manipulating parts with devices that have a mixture of discrete and continuous degrees of freedom. Immobilizing an object requires calculating the device parameters that reduce the positions and orientations of the object compatible with the contact constraints to a single point of its conguration space. Likewise, manipulating an object requ...

متن کاملObject oriented development method for recon®gurable embedded systems
The authors present a novel method for developing recon®gurable systems targeted at embedded system applications. The paper shows how an existing object oriented design method (MOOSE) has been adapted to include recon®gurable hardware (FPGAs). Previous research on recon®gurable computing has concentrated on the ef®cient mapping of algorithms to FPGAs. It must be realised that recon®gurable hard...

متن کاملRecon gurable Computing: Architectures, Models and Algorithms
The performance requirements of applications have continuously superseded the computing power of architecture platforms. Increasingly larger number of transistors available on a chip have resulted in complex architectures and integration of various architecture components on the chip. But, the incremental performance gains obtained are lower as the complexity and the integration increase. Recon...
