Reporters obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors:“Technical Field“The present disclosure relates generally to robotic manipulators, and more particularly to underactuatedrobotic manipulators having plural joints controlled by a single actuator.“Description of the Related Art“Robotic end-of-arm tooling (EOAT) and robotic end effectors take many forms. Generally speaking,an end effector is a component at the terminal, distal end of a robotic arm and is configured to performone or more of various actions, and may take the form of a gripper, a cutting tool, or other device. Roboticmanipulators, which represent one type of robotic end effector, are generally configured to grasp or otherwisehold objects and move the objects in space. Robotic manipulators may be impactive robotic manipulators,which typically use jaws, fingers, or other similar mechanisms to grasp an object to be moved, such that theobject is held by frictional forces. Robotic manipulators may also be astrictive robotic manipulators, whichtypically use vacuum, magnetic, or electrical devices, or other similar mechanisms, to grasp an object tobe moved, such that the object is held by attractive forces such as suction, magnetism, or electroadhesion.An underactuated robotic system, as that terminology is used herein, is a robotic system that has moredegrees of freedom than actuators.
