Designing robust end-effector plays a crucial role in performance of a robot workcell. Design
automation of industrial grippers' fingers/jaws is therefore of the highest interest in the robot …

In order to perform useful tasks, a service robot needs to manipulate objects in its
environment. In this paper, we propose a method for experimental evaluation of the …

In this work, we present a generic approach to optimize the design of a parametrized robot
gripper including both selected gripper mechanism parameters, and parameters of the finger …

In this article, we describe technologies facilitating the set-up of automated assembly
solutions which have been developed in the context of the IntellAct project (2011–2014) …

Gripper design is nowadays an area of ongoing research activity. The problem of creating a
generic and automated gripper design approach tailored for a specific task is still far from …

In this work, we present a generic approach to optimize the design of a parametrized robot
gripper including both gripper parameters and parameters of the finger geometry. We …

Gripper finger design is a complex process that requires a lot of experience, time, and effort.
For this reason, automating this design process is an important area of research that has the …

This paper presents an investigation of five optimization algorithms for simulation-based
optimization for robotic tasks, where robust solutions are required. We evaluate the …

The gripper finger design is a recurring problem in many robotic grasping platforms used in
industry. The task of switching the gripper configuration to accommodate for a new batch of …
