Abstract

With the development of robotics, the new flexible robotic arm has slowly entered people's daily lives, helping or even replacing humans in various environments to carry out tasks with unique advantages on safety and flexibility. To increase the flexibility of robotic arm in grasping and achieve a dynamic and wider grasp range, a flexible gripper with inflatable fingers and inflatable palm is designed, simulated and tested. To support the operation of this flexible gripper, the corresponding pneumatic drive control through the solenoid valve has been designed. Simulation and experimental results show that the proposed flexible gripper is capable of grasp objects under diverse geometries.
