A two-phase gripper to reorient and grasp

This paper introduces the design of novel two-phase fingers to passively reorient objects while picking them up. Two-phase refers to a change in the finger-object contact geometry, from a free spinning point contact to a firm multipoint contact, as the gripping force increases. We exploit the two ph...
