Achieving both the precise pinching and compliant grasping capabilities is a challenging goal for most robotic hands and grippers. Moreover, an active transition between the pinching pose and the grasping pose is difficult for limited degrees-of-freedom (DOF) hands or grippers. Even when using high
This paper presents a three-degrees-of-freedom (DOF) gravity compensation mechanism for the waists of cooperative robots whose centers of mass change according to the arm poses. It comprises 2-DOF and 1-DOF gravity compensation mechanisms in series, and is capable of natural and agile motions such a…
In this paper, a dual-arm robot system for high-speed manipulations, which is named LIMS2-AMBIDEX and is developed to compete in the IROS2018 Robotic Challenge, is presented. It has two seven-degrees-of-freedom (DO FF) lightweight arms, a three-DOF head, and a one-DOF gripper to manipulate foldable…
