In this work, supported by the AUTORECON European Project, a highly reconfigurable gripper equipped with vision system for factory automation is described. The gripper has been designed to be dexterous and able to adapt itself to grasp parts within a wide range of shapes and weights. Following a similar strategy, the vision system does not need any database or training. It can be used to manage the...
This paper focuses on the design of a robotic arm inspired to the anatomy and morphology of an octopus arm. The octopus is a boneless animal and its amazing dexterity is due to its muscular structure where longitudinal (axial), transverse (radial) and oblique muscles seamlessly interact while preserving hydrostaticity i.e. volume conservation (“muscular hydrostat”). Mimicking some features of the...
