In recent years, the shortage of labor in restaurants has become a serious problem due to the decrease in the working population and the serve working environment. One of the solutions to this problem is to introduce a robot system for automated dishwashing process. Therefore, robot hands for the dish washing process have been developed. However, these conventional robotic hands were designed for relatively lightweight dishes, and the design of the robotic hand to heavy iron plates is still a challenging problem. In this study, we develop a robot hand to be able to hold an iron plate.
First, we analyze the work process of the washing process for the iron plates to determine design parameters. Next, we develop the robot hand based on the parameter, and do the experiment to show the effectiveness of the hand.
