Fractal ViSE

Fractal ViSE, inspired by the classic Fractal Vise, focuses on developing adaptable robotic grippers that can securely grasp objects of diverse shapes and sizes using a minimal number of actuators. Current research emphasizes the design and optimization of these grippers, incorporating compliant materials and fractal geometries to achieve robust and damage-free grasping, often employing simulation and finite element analysis to guide design choices. This work is significant for advancing robotic manipulation in unstructured environments, particularly for applications requiring dexterity and adaptability in handling delicate or irregularly shaped objects.
