For grippers of industrial robots, parallel grippers and multi-function finger grippers are used. The former has the advantage of low cost but has the disadvantage of low precision, and the latter has the advantage of excellent precision but has the disadvantage of being expensive. In this paper, we developed a grip that can detects the various shapes of the object to be gripped on the gripper surface by using mesured pressure information frome Veloset Sheet sensor so that the gripper can be gripped without deforming the surface of the gripper. Also we did not only developed the array type gripper and 4 array type grippers (ATG), but also confirmed the usefulness of array type gripper developed in this study according to the 4 predefined evaluation criteria

In this study, we designed and manufactured an intelligent gripper-control device to safely grip unknown objects. The gripper control device consists of a DSP circuit, power supply circuit, communication circuit, and amplifier circuit diagrams. The DSP is used because the values of the 3-axis force sensor to which the gripper is attached are measured and calculated at high speeds. The gripping force is determined based on this value, and the object must be safely gripped with the determined value. A basic characteristic test of the control device of the manufactured intelligent gripper was conducted, and it was confirmed that it operated safely.

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.

본 논문에서는 볼 나사의 구동에 의해 물체의 파지가 가능한 로봇 그리퍼 메커니즘을 제시한 후, 시뮬레이션을 통하여 제시한 그리퍼 메커니즘의 파지 동작에서 나타날 수 있는 기구학적인 특성을 분석한다. 이를 위하여 구동기의 관절 공간과 그리퍼의 끝 공간간의 기구학적 관계를 파악한다. 제안한 로봇 그리퍼는 하나의 구동모터를 사용하고, 좌우 대칭인 폐체인(closed-chain)을 형성하고 있는 것이 특징이다. 결과적으로, 제안한 로봇 그리퍼는 구조적으로 외력에 강인하고, 하나의 구동모터에 의해 파지 동작이 구현되므로 수월한 파지가 가능하다. 또한 제안된 그리퍼는 파워 파지에 유용한 조임 효과를 갖는다.

In this paper, the cinch bag typed fruit harvesting gripper was proposed. This gripper is focused on preventing problems that we found from the related research and setting the breakthrough as a design condition according to the harvest failures of other related studies. The cover part is designed to overcome the surrounding obstacles of target fruits such as tomato, Korean melon, and sweet pepper. The measurement of maximum load showed that the well-grasped target object, such as a spherical object with 65 mm of diameter, is unable to slip in a range of 0 kg to 10 kg. The fact that the gripper allows from 4 cm to 6 cm of positional error was shown in the measurement of positional error tolerance. And the cover part of this gripper showed that the suggested gripper can grab a target object without being obstructed by leaves and stems. Finally, it was proved that the gripper satisfied the design conditions through the measurement of contacting force, which showed it is appropriate for grasping an actual fruit without damage.

This paper is a study on the fuzzy force control of a miniature gripper driven by piezoelectric bimorph actuator. The system is composed of two flexible cantilevers, a stepping motor, a laser displacement transducer and two semiconductor force sensors attached to the beams. Obtained results show that the present artificial finger system works well as a miniature gripper, which produces approximately 0.06N force in the maximum. Further, the fuzzy position/force control algorithm is applied to the soft-handing gripper for stable grasping of a object. It revealed that the fuzzy rule-based controller be efficient controller for the stable drive of the flexible miniature gripper. It also showed that two semiconductor strain gauges located in the flexible beam play an important roles for force control, position control and vibration suppression control.

The main objective of this study is to develop a gripper mechanixm that can be employed for assembly and removal tasks of a nozzle-dam of steam genetator in the process of the nuclear reactor maintenances. Brief description of the open-close thpe gripper mechanism, its position analysis, and its kinematic analysis are given. The optimal design of the gripper mechanism with and without slipping on its two gipping surfaces is considered. As an optimal design index, the ratio of the actuator force of prismatic cylinder to gripping load is proposed. Then, based on this index the oiptimal design is carried out to identify values of optimal design parameters for the gripper dechanism.

This study was conducted to develop m automatic pot-seedling transplanter for plant factory. The transplanter consists of a gripper, row-spacing control device, nursing tray transfer system, growing trough transfer system, and gripper moving device. The gripper picks up pot-seedling. The gripper moving device moves the gripper between nursing tray and growing-flat. Nursing trays are moved to workspace by the nursing tray transfer system. The growing trough transfer system was developed to move growing trough to workspace. The row-spacing control device was used to adjust the distance between adjacent plants traversely. The results of this study are as follows. The transplanting capacity of the developed transplanter was 7.1 seconds per cycle or 1.18 second per pot-seedling. Successful planting was 98.9% without seedlings and 95.8% with seedlings.

This study was conducted to develope the gripper of a robotic transplanter for bedding plants. Specific objectives of this study were 1) to develope the gripper for plug tray seedlings and 2) to find the suitable finger type for transplanting. The performance of gripper was tested and compared by two different transplanting methods, which were to consider the leaf position of seedlings and not to consider. The results of this study are summarized as follows. (1) The gripper of a robotic transplanter was developed and tested with 4 different finger type. (2) The shovel type finger was suitable for transplanting with the least percent of damaged seedlings.

In this paper we describe a method for aligning a robot gripper using image information. The region of gripper is represented from HSI color model that has major advantage of brightness independence. In order to extract the feature points for vision based position control, we find the corners of gripper shape using polygonal approximation method which determines the segment size and curvature of each points. We apply the vision based scheme to the task of alignment of gripper to reach the desired position by 2 RGB cameras. Experiments are carried out to exhibit the effectiveness of vision based control using feature points from polygonal approximation of gripper.
