Development of an electric gripper system for intelligent manipulators

지능로보트를 위한 전기식 그리퍼의 개발에 관한 연구

Most of industrial robots are reprogrammable for various operations. while the gripper is only used for on - off grasping. If the gripper has the intelligent ability to interact with its environment, it will be very useful in many fine motion application. For this pur pose, an electric gripper system is, developed through experiments and simulation. This paper describes a method of the contact position between the gripper and the grasped object by using strain gauge sensors, and presents the related experimental results.
