The 2-Finger Adaptive Robot Gripper
featuring high grip force, rugged design and sealed casing. Its design makes it a unique robotic end-of-arm tool to
quickly pick, place and handle a large range of parts of varying sizes and shapes.
The Gripper has two articulated fingers that each have two joints (two phalanxes per finger), as shown in Figure 1.1.
The Gripper can engage up to six contact points with an object (two on each of the phalanges and on the palm). The
fingers are underactuated, meaning they have fewer motors than the total number of joints. This configuration allows
the fingers to automatically adapt to the shape of the object they grip and it also simplifies the control of the Gripper.
