In this work we briefly present Mag-Gripper, a novel robotic gripper specifically designed for autonomous clothing manipulation. It is capable of improving the grasp repeatability and precision, compensating uncertainties in the desired grasping locations by exploiting a proper magnetic force. It is an augmented jaw gripper, equipped with an electromagnet capable of attracting small metal parts suitably placed on the garment to be grasped. Mag-Gripper can find applications either in Research labs investigating Machine Learning-based clothing manipulation, either in companies having to manage a large amount of returns, either in home setting scenarios.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
