Aiming at the problem that flexible gripper grasping mode is relatively single and difficult to adapt to complex working conditions,the research group proposed a segmented flexible gripper with multiple degrees of freedom.The gripper was composed of three flexible fingers equipped with multiple independent air chambers.Each flexible finger adopted a segmented structure consisting of a front single air chamber and rear double air chambers.The mathematical model based on second-order Yeoh model was established and simulated.Subsequently,3D printing technology was used to produce the gripper object,followed by comprehensive grasping and external interaction experiments conducted using the designed multi-path control system.The results demonstrate that the gripper can effectively execute adaptive grasping as well as intricate hand movements such as screwing and pinching,underscoring its versatility and strong adaptability.
