In this paper, a reconfigurable robotic gripper for grasping of limp materials has been developed and presented, based on pneumatic technology. To grasp flexible and fabric materials, it is necessary to have several pickup points, whose location is selected on the basis of the shape of the part to be grasped and it is also necessary to have low overall flow drop in the pneumatic circuits. This paper also presents the results of dynamic simulation and analysis of the reconfigurable gripper system in the dynamic simulation package ADAMS. The architecture of the gripper is simple and the choice of pneumatic actuators improves the reliability of the system.

Abstract


In this paper, a reconfigurable robotic gripper for grasping of limp materials has been developed and presented, based on pneumatic technology. To grasp flexible and fabric materials, it is necessary to have several pickup points, whose location is selected on the basis of the shape of the part to be grasped and it is also necessary to have low overall flow drop in the pneumatic circuits. This paper also presents the results of dynamic simulation and analysis of the reconfigurable gripper system in the dynamic simulation package ADAMS. The architecture of the gripper is simple and the choice of pneumatic actuators improves the reliability of the system.
