Abstract

In this paper, a proposal for a novel bio-inspired universal gripper is described. The gripper inde-pendently engage in an automated picking scenario goods from boxes gripping, lifting and dropping else-where, as to substitute the manual picking by hand. Towards a sophisticated design many questions about layout and arrangement of the fingers and their drive are solved. A bending actuator, developed for this ap-plication, is used to drive the finger. A unique feature offers a virtually wear-free joint with a very simple constructive structure.
