Sensorized robotic gripping device

This is a robot hand with fingers and a camera mounted on the palm, pointing between the fingers. The camera has its own light source, and a diffuser is placed over that light source. The claims specifically describe a version where the camera is an ultraviolet camera and the diffuser completely covers it.

Why it matters: Since 2022, compact and robust UV camera technology, along with suitable illumination sources, has become more accessible and integrated into robotic vision systems. This makes specialized UV inspection applications for robotic grippers more feasible.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: ModerateRobotic gripper, camera, illumination, sensor integration
