No sliding torus type extension robot finger mechanism

-Effector for the purpose of embracing holding of a chicken as a weak or fragile object in a dense environment-

Abstract

This research relates to the device and realization of No Sliding Torus Type Extension Finger Mechanism. In resent year, various bag type grippers have researched and developed. Bag type gripper can grasp various objects because it is able to adapt to the target objects. However, since friction occurs between the gripper and the object, it is difficult to grasp weak or fragile objects. Therefore, we report on the principle devised, realized(design, prototype), experiment using a torus finger gripper mechanism which can grasp objects without sliding.
