Single-Motor Robotic Gripper with Multi-Surface Fingers for Variable Grasping Configurations
Toshihiro Nishimura, Yosuke Suzuki, Tokuo Tsuj +1
This study proposes a novel robotic gripper with variable grasping configurations for grasping various objects. The fingers of the developed gripper incorporate multiple different…
Lightweight High-Speed and High-Force Gripper for Assembly
Toshihiro Nishimura, Takeshi Takaki, Yosuke Suzuki +2
This paper presents a novel industrial robotic gripper with a high grasping speed (maximum: 1396 mm/s), high tip force (maximum: 80 N) for grasping, large motion range, and lightwe…
Single-Motor Robotic Gripper With Three Functional Modes for Grasping in Confined Spaces
Toshihiro Nishimura, Tetsuyou Watanabe
This study proposes a novel robotic gripper driven by a single motor. The main task is to pick up objects in confined spaces. For this purpose, the developed gripper has three oper…
Flexible and slim device switching air blowing and suction by a single airflow control
Seita Nojiri, Toshihiro Nishimura, Kenjiro Tadakuma +1
This study proposes a soft robotic device with a slim and flexible body that switches between air blowing and suction with a single airflow control. Suction is achieved by jet flow…
High-payload and self-adaptive robotic hand with 1-degree-of-freedom translation/rotation switching mechanism
Toshihiro Nishimura, Tsubasa Muryoe, Tetsuyou Watanabe
This study proposes a novel robotic hand that can achieve self-adaptive grasping and a large payload (over 20 kg) with a single actuator. Accordingly, two novel mechanisms, an actu…
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…
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…
