Abstract
As automation is spreading in all the industry domains, the presence of robots is becoming unavoidable inside factories, warehouses and manufacturing facilities. Although a great number of companies and research institutions have concentrated their efforts on developing new robotic systems and advanced algorithms, much work is necessary to provide robotic grippers, especially industrial ones, with reliable, powerful control strategies. Therefore, this article aims at delivering an up-to-date point of view on the state of the art of robotic gripper control. The principal control methodologies employed so far, as well as a thorough selection of the existing contributions to the field, will be reported and discussed. Finally, the authors’ opinion about future directions will be expressed.
