This invention describes a robotic gripper designed specifically for handling meat products, particularly those with bones. It uses flexible robotic 'fingers' that move to grasp the meat, working in conjunction with a specialized layered plate. This plate has grooves shaped to securely hold the bone, preventing it from slipping or rotating, while the fingers push the surrounding meat into the plate's layers for a firm grip.
Why it matters: Since 2018, advancements in multi-material 3D printing and integrated fluidic control systems have significantly simplified the fabrication and control of complex soft robotic grippers like this one, making custom designs more feasible.
