Recently, attempts to automate product display operations in convenience stores have been attracting attention. Robotic hands are needed to grasp products of various shapes and sizes. For example, a lunch box is one of the largest products in convenience stores, and the robotic hand that handles it tends to be large. It may not be able to grasp a product in the corner of the display shelf. Therefore, to reduce the size of the robot hand, we proposed a new grasping method for a lunch box container and developed a special hand chuck. Its grasping ability was verified by picking up a container from crowded products.
