Abstract
New structures for gripping objects in robotic manipulation processes are oriented to the
new arrangement of mechanical structures using new materials and processing
technologies and innovative procedures for the implementation of contact gripping
element links to an object with a high degree of adaptively of applications together with
the ability to alter the structure of grip and limiting the intensity of the contact stiffness
variation of snap elements custody and pliability. The application of elastomeric
materials and surface finishes is important. This paper presents both a new gripper
design for robot arms but also the search of the selected materials to make an
experimental evaluation of technical parameters that are used to assess their application
potential and suitability for the targeted applications. Also the results and conclusions for
gripper testing in manipulation operations with two different robot arms are presented.
