Abstract
Robotic grippers, with several design variations in its jaws, are gaining popularity in commercial market worldwide in recent past. In fact, these customized robotic grippers are widely used for diverse end-applications in various arenas. We have aimed to optimize the mechanical design of such customized robotic grippers having two fingers (jaws), as those grippers are the most prevalent variants in industrial robots. In this study, a niche contigutive robotic gripper for direct adhesion contactis developed, to meet the technical trials of force-closure of grasp. The prime focus of our research is reduction of the tareweight of the prototype gripper keeping its strength unaltered under the threshold of grasping maximum payload. Through Finite Element Analysis and optimization thereof, material retention percentage is defined for the prototype gripper so as to improve its overall envelope.
