PnuGrip: An Active Two-Phase Gripper for Dexterous Manipulation
Invention type: Technology
/
Case number: #22455
A robotic gripper may be configured to dexterously manipulate an article. The robotic gripper may include two or more fingers containing one or more rotatable contacts each. The rotatable contact may transition between a rotation mode and a braking mode such that the contacts are free to rotate in the rotation mode and are prevented from being rotated in the braking mode.
