MIT researchers develop a new type of robotic gripper
May 21st, 2012 shan 
In recent years, the robotic jamming gripper has shown their success in grasping different shaped objects. It also currently included the capability of shooting objects to some distance. Now, MIT researchers have taken this technology to one step ahead by developing a robotic arm with the ability to twist, bend, and hold like an elephant’s […]

Robotic universal jamming gripper helps to throw objects
February 18th, 2012 yog 
The mechanical engineers of Cornell University and physicists of University of Chicago have developed a Robotic Universal Jamming Gripper for shooting objects to some distance. This capability certainly allows the robot to shoot balls into a basket, throw different materials into their respective bins, and even play archery. DARPA’s DSO (Defense Sciences Office) has supported […]

February 5th, 2012 yog During training period, various objects are made familiar to the vision system of the industrial robots. The extracted feature values of these known objects are stored in the vision system, and then compared with the feature values of unknown objects. Generally, there are two different methods for recognizing the objects in the industries such as: […]

January 26th, 2012 yog A tool is equipped in the robot for carrying out several operations on the work parts instead of grasping it. A tool acts as an end effector when it is attached directly to the robot’s wrist. In some applications, there will be a need for multi-tool task, and changing the tool all the time from […]
Robotic applications of a machine vision system
January 11th, 2012 yog A machine vision system is employed in a robot for recognizing the objects. It is commonly used to perform the inspection functions in which the industrial robots are not involved. It is usually mounted in a high speed production line for accepting or rejecting the work parts. The rejected work parts will be removed by […]

January 10th, 2012 yog The industrial robots use grippers as an end effector for picking up the raw and finished work parts. A robot can perform good grasping of objects only when it obtains a proper gripper selection and design. Therefore, Joseph F. Engelberger, who is referred as Father of Robotics has described several factors that are required to […]
