A Novel Simple, Adaptive, and Versatile Soft-Robotic Compliant Two-Finger Gripper With an Inherently Gentle Touch

Abstract: In soft robotics there is still a great need for a universal but simple gripper that realizes a high level of adaptability as well as a gentle touch to a wide variety of unknown objects of different size, shape, stiffness and weight without the use of sensors or vision. Various, mostly complex grippers already exist based on certain actuation concepts. However, each solution has specific limitations, especially regarding gripping different soft and delicate objects. Therefore, this paper introduces a new appro… Show more

“…Three papers used the Finite Element Method (FEM) to optimize (part of) the structure [86]- [88]. Furthermore, one paper used shape optimization via node wandering [89]. A slight majority, five grippers, were designed using topology optimization [71], [90]- [93].…”

“…41 Similar two link parallel grippers based on compliant mechanistic entities are very popular in the recent literature. 42,43 Although the field of gripper design has been widespread; there is a need to develop single part compliant grippers which can hold both rigid and crushable (like a paper cup) from inside. This paper is based on the synthesis of a friction-based gripper intended to hold hollow objects from inside.…”
