The DBCF-EM Gripper: Using Dual-Belt Curved-Flexure Eversion Mechanism Fingers for Confined-Space Robotic Grasping
RA-L 2026
Conventional fingered grippers often struggle in confined spaces because limited lateral access prevents finger insertion and inward closing. This letter presents the DBCF-EM gripper, whose fingers combine a base-driven curved flexure, prescribing a tangential object-following trajectory, with a dua
