Multi-material Direct Ink Writing and Embroidery for Stretchable Wearable Sensors
Lukas Cha, Ryman Hashem, Ria Prakash +3
The development of wearable sensing systems for sports performance tracking, rehabilitation, and injury prevention has driven growing demand for smart garments that combine comfort…
SCAL for Pinch-Lifting: Complementary Rotational and Linear Prototypes for Environment-Adaptive Grasping
Wentao Guo, Wenzeng Zhang
This paper presents environment-adaptive pinch-lifting built on a slot-constrained adaptive linkage (SCAL) and instantiated in two complementary fingers: SCAL-R, a rotational-drive…
Semi-Peaucellier Linkage and Differential Mechanism for Linear Pinching and Self-Adaptive Grasping
Haokai Ding, Zhaohan Chen, Tao Yang +1
This paper presents the SP-Diff parallel gripper system, addressing the limited adaptability of conventional end-effectors in intelligent industrial automation. The proposed design…
A Novel Gripper with Semi-Peaucellier Linkage and Idle-Stroke Mechanism for Linear Pinching and Self-Adaptive Grasping
Haokai Ding, Wenzeng Zhang
This paper introduces a novel robotic gripper, named as the SPD gripper. It features a palm and two mechanically identical and symmetrically arranged fingers, which can be driven i…
Hoecken-D Hand: A Novel Robotic Hand for Linear Parallel Pinching and Self-Adaptive Grasping
Wentao Guo, Wenzeng Zhang
This paper presents the Hoecken-D Hand, an underactuated robotic gripper that combines a modified Hoecken linkage with a differential spring mechanism to achieve both linear parall…
A Novel Robot Hand with Hoeckens Linkages and Soft Phalanges for Scooping and Self-Adaptive Grasping in Environmental Constraints
Wentao Guo, Yizhou Wang, Wenzeng Zhang
This paper presents a novel underactuated adaptive robotic hand, Hockens-A Hand, which integrates the Hoeckens mechanism, a double-parallelogram linkage, and a specialized four-bar…
