Development of hybrid robot-gripper for picking foods by Tee, Isaac

“…This project will focus on the development of soft robotic grippers with additional features for food handling, such as a 2nd degree of freedom to enable more options for actuation, and different picking methods, such as scooping of food with a soft robotic gripper to cater to types of food that come in small pieces or food with sauce. The soft robotic gripper is made out of different kinds of silicone rubbers throughout the course of the project, and the grippers are actuated using compressed air flowing through internal air chambers, pumping in compressed air between 70kPa to 120kPa. …”
