摘要: A flexible sleeve is mounted on a rigid support, the sleeve being lined with wafers distributed in rings around the sleeve. The sleeve can be retracted by an actuator so as to return the end face of the sleeve inside the sleeve, by making a fold which tilts the wafers inwards by forming surfaces for retaining taken objects or samples, which can be maintained between the wafers or inside chambers.

摘要: This disclosure relates to a manipulating apparatus including a finger assembly with a rigid body having an aperture and an inflatable element received within the rigid body. When the inflatable element is inflated, a region of the inflatable element forms a protrusion through the aperture. A controller is configured to output an inflation control signal for pressurising the inflatable element according a target pressure, the target pressure being dependent on a characteristic of an object being manipulated.

摘要: Exemplary embodiments pertain to soft robotic actuators configured to receive modular fingertips. The fingertips may be provided at the distal end of a standardized actuator. The actuator's distal tip may be sized and shaped to correspond to a proximal end of the modular fingertip. A backing plate may be provided in a reservoir of the actuator in order to spread the load of a fastener that can be inserted through the reservoir and backing plate and into one or more holes that pass through the material of the actuator and into the modular fingertip. For purposes of reducing bacterial harborage points, the holes may extend only partway through the modular fingertip without extending entirely through it. In other embodiments, the fastener may be inserted into the fingertip and secured to the actuator. A sealing bead may be provided between the distal tip of the actuator and the fingertip.

摘要: Disclosed is a traction robot, a conveyance system and a method for controlling a traction robot. The traction robot includes a main body, and further includes a control assembly and a rotating arm. The rotating arm is rotationally assembled on the main body. The rotating arm comprises a first rotating arm and a second rotating arm. The first rotating arm and the second rotating arm are both provided with a clamping part for clamping a towed article on one side facing the towed article, and expansion members are both provided between the clamping part and the rotating arm. The control assembly drives fluid input into or discharge from the expansion member to control expansion or retraction of the expansion member, so as to control the clamping part to clamp or release the towed article.

摘要: According to one embodiment, a gripping tool includes a gripper. The gripper is flexible. A granular material is provided in an interior of the gripper. The gripper is configured to grip a workpiece by being in close contact with the workpiece in a state in which an outer perimeter of the gripper is held, and by the interior of the gripper being depressurized.

摘要: According to one embodiment, a gripping tool includes a gripper and a suction pad. The gripper is flexible. A granular material is provided in an interior of the gripper. The suction pad includes a pad portion and a pipe-shaped member and is surrounded with the gripper. The pad portion suctions a workpiece. The pipe-shaped member is connected to the pad portion. The suction pad is movable with respect to the gripper in a first direction. The first direction is from the pad portion toward the pipe-shaped member.

摘要: This gripping hand has a base member and a number of fingers arranged about an axis line passing through the base member, wherein each of the fingers has a flexible finger part having flexibility and a finger base member for supporting the basal end side of the flexible finger part, the gripping hand is provided with a number of link mechanisms that are supported by the base member and that support the respective number of finger base members, and each of the link mechanisms allows the finger base member supported thereby to move relative to the base member such that the orientation of the finger base member supported thereby does not substantially change relative to the base member.

摘要: Exemplary embodiments provide modular robotic systems that allow one or more operation parameters of a robotic actuator, or group of actuators, to be dynamically configured or reconfigured. The operation parameters may be, for example, the X, Y, and/or Z position of the actuator or group of actuators with respect to other actuators, the arrangement of the actuator(s) into an array or matrix, the rotation or pitch of an actuator, the distance between actuators, the grip strength or grip surface of an actuator, etc. Accordingly, the same robotic manipulator(s) may be used for multiple purposes in multiple different contexts, manipulators can be swapped out on-the-fly, and robotic systems may be dynamically reconfigured to perform new tasks.
