Abstract:
An entirely new reconfigurable gripper is designed and shown in this paper. The new gripper comprises six modular fingers, which can be rearranged to form any number of fingers between three and six. CAD, CAM, CAE, and PCB software Fusion 360 was used to design the gripper. Also, the gripper fingers are rotatable, so the finger bases can touch each other side-by-side and form one finger. In addition to showing the reconfigure ability of the gripper, several scenarios for grasping different shapes were presented and tested.
