Design of Modular Gripper for Industrial Robot

Abstract:

The article discusses the design of modular gripper for industrial robot based on the modularity. This modularity includes the variable layout of fingers into three positions for the specified grip. It also consists of the specification of objects manipulation, their dimensions and weights with this type of gripper. The proposal is based on the biomechanical principle of the human hand. According to the analysis of human hand, there is a possibility to categorize every type of grip. The concept of gripper will introduce its own possibilities, functionality and fulfillment of required grip tasks. Design is based also on limited requirements, which are determined by the envelope of flange of industrial robot, application and others factors.
