摘要: 提出了一种由水弹折纸为原理的轻量级折纸抓手。对水弹结构进行了介绍和几何分析,得到了形成水弹圆柱体可折叠条件,并介绍了抓取装置设计和制造方法。搭建了折纸抓手的抓取实验平台,对具有不同几何形状、质地和重量的物体进行了抓取和提升测试,测试了抓手轴向偏移抓取的能力,并分析了抓手负载能力随气压的变化关系。抓取实验表明该柔性抓手具有轴向偏移抓取、形状自适应抓取、抓力可控等优点。在食品、水果等质地柔软且质量较轻目标物的抓取及分拣领域具有的实用性。Abstract: This paper proposes a lightweight origami gripper based on the waterbomb origami principle. Firstly, the structure of a waterbomb is introduced and its geometry is analyzed. The foldable conditions for forming the waterbomb′s cylinder are obtained, and the gripping device design and manufacturing method are presented. The gripping experimental platform of the origami gripper was built. The gripping and lifting of objects with different geometries, textures and weights were tested. The gripper′s axial offset gripping capability was also tested, and the relationship between the gripper′s load capacity and air pressure was analyzed. The experiments on gripping show that the flexible gripper has the advantage of axial offset gripping, shape adaptive gripping and controllable gripping force. It is useful to grasp and sort flexible and light objects such as food and fruits.
