Zusammenfassung In diesem Artikel wird eine fluidisch angetriebene Roboterhand vorgestellt, deren flexible Aktuatoren adaptives Greifen sowie die weiche Handhabung von Gegenständen ermöglichen. Der mechanische Aufbau vereinigt die anthropomorphe Erscheinung mit einer präzisen DreiPunktKinematik eines Greifers. Es werden Designmerkmale, das Antriebskonzept, die Steuerungskomponenten, technische ...

Abstract Four-dimensional (4D) printing is an emerging additive manufacturing (AM) technology that adds a time-dependent reconfiguration dimension to three-dimensional (3D) printed products. It enables the creation of on-demand, dynamically controllable shapes, or properties in response external stimuli such as temperature, magnetic field, and light. Thermally responsive structures are among mo...

Grasping a variety of objects is still an open problem in robotics, especially for cluttered scenarios. Multimodal grasping has been recognized as promising strategy to improve the manipulation capabilities robotic system. This work presents novel grasp planning algorithm hybrid grippers that allows multiple modalities. In particular, planner manages two-finger grasps, single or double suction ...

This study proposed a novel robotic gripper that can achieve grasping and infinite wrist twisting motions using single actuator. The is equipped with differential gear mechanism allows switching between the according to magnitude of tip force applied finger. motion activated when below set value, exceeds this value. “Twist grasping,” special mode wrapping flexible thin object around fingers gri...

In the last few years, robotics has been increasingly adopted in agriculture to improve productivity and efficiency. This paper presents recent and current work at the Politecnico of Bari, in collaboration with the University of Lecce, in the field of agriculture robotics. A cost effective robotic arm is introduced for the harvesting of radicchio, which employs visual localization of the plants...
