The growing environmental concerns have emerged the necessity of sustainable waste
management of construction and demolition (C&D) wastes. This review explores the …

The ability to grasp a wider range of objects in size and shape directly relates to the
performance of robotic grippers. Adapting to complex geometries of objects requires large …

Soft robotic grippers have attracted considerable attention in terms of the advantages of the
high compliance and robustness to variance in object geometry; however, they are still …

The goal of robotic manipulators is to grasp objects of irregular shapes with better precision
and efficiency. Universal grippers developed in recent years are designed with excessive …

Robotic grasp in complex open-world scenarios requires an effective and generalizable
perception. Estimating object's pose is needed in a variety of practical grasping scenarios …

Dielectric elastomer (DE) grippers have attracted much attention in safety applications due
to their intrinsic compliance, large deformation and high response speed. The performances …

This paper evaluates grasp capability of a new three-fingered gripper driven by optimal
spherical four-link mechanism design. The optimal mechanism provided a trajectory that is …

Performing a grasp is a pivotal capability for a robotic gripper. We propose a new evaluation
approach of the quality of grasping stability via constructing a model of grasping stiffness …

We propose a parallel massage robot with compliant joints based on the series elastic
actuator (SEA), offering a unified force-position control approach. First, the kinematic and …

This paper provides a geometrical insight into the dualities of compliant mechanisms via
repelling screws. A method for the construction of the repelling screw system is proposed. By …
