...Wei Wang; Houxiang Zhang; Wenpeng Yu This paper presents the design and realization of a multimobile robot system joint locomotion (JL)-2, which features not only a docking and 3D posture-adjusting capability between three robots but also a multifunctional docking gripper. By combining a parallel...

...Hikmet Kocabas A novel spherical gripper mechanism with one degree of freedom was designed. This gripper consists of a network of spherical parallelogram mechanisms. Design limits, work space formulas, and required grasping forces were derived. Parallelogram mechanisms with unequal circular...

...Chao-Chieh Lan; Kok-Meng Lee A compliant gripper gains its dextral manipulation by the flexural motion of its fingers. It is a preferable device as compared to grippers with multijoint actuations because of reduced fabrication complexity and increased structural reliability. The prediction...

... modular and direct ones. Equation ( 13 ) can be solved for δD in terms of δw since K G is established from six linearly independent screws. In an elastic system where a rigid body is grasped by a compliant gripper mechanism, a stiffness matrix is defined as a linear map 34...
