Crawler type rescue robots with flipper arms have good running ability for rough terrains. Each flipper of these robots has a pitch DOF. The pitching motion of the flipper arms is effective to climb up a step obstacles. However, most of rescue robots cannot easily turn on stairs or steep ramps. In this paper, we developed a crawler type rescue robot that has a steering mechanism on each flipper arm...
This paper discusses an underactuated robotic hand for grasping a free-flying object. We introduce a concept of creating a closure called caging before locking the target in an immobilizing grasp. The caging is a closure that geometrically constrains the target such that the target can not escape from its closure created by robotic fingers. The design of the underactuated hand that performs caging-based...
