Popis: Industrial robots equipped with various grippers have been introduced in production sites and most of them are electrically driven. Because of the electric actuator’s characteristics, they have no back drivability, making it difficult for them to grasp flexible objects. In this study, therefore, we propose a pneumatically driven robot hand capable of grasping flexible objects by effectively employing the compressibility and back drivability of air.
