This paper introduces a novel robotic gripper, named as the SPD gripper. It features a palm and two mechanically identical and symmetrically arranged fingers, which can be driven independently or by a single motor. The fingertips of the fingers follow a linear motion trajectory, facilitating the gra
This paper presents a novel underactuated adaptive robotic hand, Hockens-A Hand, which integrates the Hoeckens mechanism, a double-parallelogram linkage, and a specialized four-bar linkage to achieve three adaptive grasping modes: parallel pinching, asymmetric scooping, and enveloping grasping. Hock
This paper presents the SPARK finger, an innovative passive adaptive robotic finger capable of executing both parallel pinching and scooping grasps. The SPARK finger incorporates a multi-link mechanism with Kempe linkages to achieve a vertical linear fingertip trajectory. Furthermore, a parallelogra
Current robot hand grippers capable of self-adaptive or coupled grasping often cannot perform linear-parallel pinching at the physical end of the gripper, which is widely used in industrial applications. For this reason, this paper introduces a gripper with hybrid grasping modes— the LPCSA hand. It…
Doffing robot is an important part of the spinning process in the textile production. This paper analyzes the doffing process of spinning machines and points out the requirements of the structure and functions of the doffer. The locking two-finger gripper, the three-dimensional circulating operation…
