Robotic Finger Design Workflow for Adaptable Industrial Assembly Tasks

Abstract

In this work, we introduce a web-based system connected to a simulation framework that can be used to facilitate the design of industrial fingers. We provide an overview of the state of the art and of the currently used manual gripper finger design methods prevailing in the industry. With a concrete use case we demonstrate the advantages in terms of quality and saved time for designing the fingers when utilizing our presented framework compared to a common manual method of designing the gripper fingers.
