Robotic gripper mechanism

This invention describes a robotic gripper designed to absorb impact. It features a finger attached to a movable arm, which is held in place by a spring-loaded curved piece. If the gripper finger hits something with enough force, the arm will slide back into the housing, preventing damage.

Why it matters: The increased adoption of collaborative robots since 2015 has heightened the need for compliant, safe gripper mechanisms. This design directly addresses impact absorption for safer human-robot interaction.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: ModerateCustom mechanical parts, spring mechanism.
