Abstract
SUMMARY Recent hardware advances for robot accessories include self changing grippers. A universal wrist has the capability of accessing and pneumatically attaching itself to a limited number of grippers that can be stored in a magazine. This paper addresses the determination of self changing gripper characteristics to permit the grasping of a wide variety of geometric shapes with a limited number of different gripper types.Keywords
