Finger design automation for industrial robot grippers: A review
نویسندگان
چکیده
Designing robust end-effector plays a crucial role in performance of a robot workcell. Design automation of industrial grippers’ fingers/jaws is therefore of the highest interest in the robot industry. This paper systematically reviews the enormous studies performed in relevant research areas for finger design automation. Key processes for successfully achieving automatic finger design are identified and research contributions in each key process are critically reviewed. The proposed approaches in each key process are analyzed, verified and benchmarked. The most promising methods to accomplish finger design automation are highlighted and presented. © 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

On the Design of 2-DOF Robot Grippers
The gripper constitutes the end of the kinematic chain of an industrial robot and makes possible the interactions with the work environment. Although universal grippers with wide clamping ranges can be used for varied object shapes, in many cases they must be adapted to specific work-pieces shapes. The mechanical two-finger grippers with a single degree of freedom are the most usual device used...
متن کاملFlexible Object Handling using Dextrous Grippers
Robots are used to perform tedious work in more and more of today’s industrial applications. Traditionally robots are used in applications with well structured and extremely predictable environments like that of a production line. In the last few years new trends within industrial automation has arisen. One trend is to move from mass production to production of customized products [1] which dem...
متن کاملImpedance restrictions on independent finger grippers
The impedance matrices of independent point fingers of a multifingered gripper map to the impedance matrix of a grasped workpart. We find that in a planar geometry, three fingers are enough to allow an unrestricted range of workpart impedances, if finger impedances are selectable. In a spatial geometry however, five fingers are necessary for the broadest range of workpart impedances, and even s...
متن کامل"RISC" for Industrial Robotics: Recent Results and Open Problems
At the intersection of robotics, computational geometry, and manufacturing engineering, we have identified a collection of research problems with near-term industrial applications. The common thread is robot systems with Reduced Intricacy in Sensing and Control (RISC ), such as light beam sensors and parallel-jaw grippers. We conjecture that such systems, coupled with appropriate algorithms, ar...
متن کاملDevelopment of an Autonomous Friction Gripper for Industrial Robots
Industrial robots become useless without end-effectors that for many instances are in the form of friction grippers. Commonly friction grippers apply frictional forces to different objects on the basis of programmers’ experiences. This puts a limitation on the effectiveness of gripping force that may result in damaging the object. This paper describes various stages of design and development of...
