Abstract:
For automated industry is important to develop a new mechatronics system, which is able to grasp and manipulate deformable objects in a reliable way. This paper discusses an idea for developing a concept of gripper exploiting the physical proprieties of the objects to be manipulated as, for example, fabrics textile, sheets of paper or in general Flat and Deformable Objects (FDOs). The idea is to build a gripper prototype, which uses two rotational wheels, microspines placed on the fingertips, in order to buckle and lift up the flat material.
