Technologies

Robotic End Effectors for Use with Robotic Manipulators

Competitive Advantages Integrated camera, proximity and eight force sensors, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Ethernet and USB connectivity, Software library for customization. In one embodiment, a robotic end effector configured to mount to a robotic manipulator includes gripping elements configured to grasp objects, a drive mechanism configured to open and close the gripping elements, a central controller configured to control operation of the drive mechanism and the gripper elements, the central controller hosting a control program that enables control of the end effector independent of the robotic manipulator, and at least one of a forwardfacing ultrasonic distance sensor configured to measure a distance between the gripping elements and an object to be grasped, and a forward-facing camera mounted between the gripping elements configured to capture video data of an object to be grasped.Researchers at USF have developed a gripper that is customizable for multiple applications as it can handle various object shapes with controllable pressure at a fraction of the cost of currently available commercial units. This technology will empower individuals to utilize robotic grippers in a wider array of applications. It uses readily available cross-platform software interfaces which will enable users to control the grip, acquire sensory information and produce a live camera video feed without any additional programming. This technology alleviates the need for generous budgets and technical knowledge in order to acquire, implement and operate a robotic gripper.
