Disposable Robot Hand Made with Paper by Ribbon Origami Structure

- Analysis of strength and control characteristics -

Abstract

We propose a disposable robot hand that can be made by folding a strip of cardboard several times. By rotating the paper around one folded part, a flexible grasping motion can be naturally realized by the links made of the paper, which is suitable for handling food. In this report, we clarify the basic characteristics such as strength and gripping force of the hand using various paper materials.
