Single-Fingered Reconfigurable Robotic Gripper With a Folding Mechanism for Narrow Working Spaces
Toshihiro Nishimura, Tsubasa Muryoe, Yoshitatsu Asama +3
This letter proposes a novel single-fingered reconfigurable robotic gripper for grasping objects in narrow working spaces. The finger of the developed gripper realizes two configur…
1-degree-of-freedom Robotic Gripper With Infinite Self-Twist Function
Toshihiro Nishimura, Yosuke Suzuki, Tokuo Tsuji +1
This study proposed a novel robotic gripper that can achieve grasping and infinite wrist twisting motions using a single actuator. The gripper is equipped with a differential gear…
Sensing and Control of Friction Mode for Contact Area Variable Surfaces (Friction-variable Surface Structure)
Seita Nojiri, Akihiko Yamaguchi, Yosuke Suzuki +2
Robotic hands with soft surfaces can perform stable grasping, but the high friction of the soft surfaces makes it difficult to release objects, or to perform operations that requir…
Soft robotic hand with finger-bending/friction-reduction switching mechanism through 1-degree-of-freedom flow control
Toshihiro Nishimura, Kensuke Shimizu, Seita Nojiri +4
This paper proposes a novel pneumatic soft robotic hand that incorporates a mechanism that can switch the airflow path using a single airflow control. The developed hand can contro…
Variable-Grasping-Mode Gripper With Different Finger Structures For Grasping Small-Sized Items
Tetsuyou Watanabe, Kota Morino, Yoshitatsu Asama +2
This letter presents a novel small gripper capable of grasping various types of small-sized items from flat surfaces for the assembly of small devices. Using a single actuator, the…
Robots Assembling Machines: Learning from the World Robot Summit 2018 Assembly Challenge
Felix von Drigalski, Christian Schlette, Martin Rudorfer +5
The Industrial Assembly Challenge at the World Robot Summit was held in 2018 to showcase the state-of-the-art of autonomous manufacturing systems. The challenge included various ta…
