Single Motor Robotic Gripper

Single-motor robotic grippers are a focus of current robotics research, aiming to create compact, versatile, and cost-effective grasping mechanisms using minimal actuation. Research emphasizes innovative designs incorporating compliant materials, multi-surface fingers, and integrated tactile sensing to enable robust grasping of diverse objects, including those in cluttered or confined spaces. These advancements are improving manipulation capabilities in various applications, such as automated harvesting, assembly, and handling of delicate or irregularly shaped items, while also contributing to the development of more sophisticated control algorithms and sensor fusion techniques.
