Design and Analysis of Robotic Gripper with Complaint Mechanism

Robotic grippers have become widely common in recent years for a variety of tasks in a variety of industries. Grippers work with industrial robots to manipulate and handle objects. Grippers can also be used for hard automation such as micro-assembly, machining, and packing. In a variety of fields, compliant mechanisms have made a significant impact. Several approaches have been proposed to study and build these compliant mechanisms that depend on the deflection of flexible members rather than moveable joints alone for part of their motion. To perform their functions, traditional rigid-body systems require a variety of components. As a result, they face issues like backlash, wear, an increase in part count, weight, assembly cost and time, as well as ongoing maintenance. Reducing these issues will improve the performance of the machine and reduce cost.
