Double-Nozzle Capillary Force Gripper for Cubical, Triangular Prismatic, and Helical 1-mm-Sized-Objects

Kenta Tanaka, Takatoshi Ito, Yuki Nishiyama, Eri Fukuchi, Ohmi Fuchiwaki

RA-L 2022

In this letter, we describe a novel capillary force gripper with two nozzles for the manipulation of complex-shaped micro-objects. These nozzles rapidly form constant-volume droplets and have two primary functions: fast water refilling by capillary action and fast droplet formation by the on-off con

Capillary Force Gripper for Complex-Shaped Micro-Objects With Fast Droplet Forming by On-Off Control of a Piston Slider

Wataru Hagiwara, Takatoshi Ito, Kenta Tanaka, Ryota Tokui, Ohmi Fuchiwaki

RA-L 2019

In this letter, we describe the newly proposed capillary force gripper that combines fast water refilling via the capillary phenomenon and fast droplet forming via the ON-OFF control of a piston slider. The capillary force is suitable for capturing and releasing heterogeneous and complex-shaped micr
