摘要
来自华盛顿特区的一位新闻记者兼机器人与机器学习每日新闻的工作人员新闻编辑报道说,发明者巴塞特迈克尔(美国麻州贝德福德)于2023年11月30日提交的专利申请已于2024年5月30日在线公布。本专利申请没有受让人。新闻编辑从发明人提供的背景信息中获得了以下引文:“机器人抓钩被广泛应用于各种应用中,例如包装、制造、食品制备和其它领域。许多机器人抓钩历史上是由硬材料或其它不符合要求的材料制成的,但最近“软”弹性机器人致动器(或手指)已经广泛获得。软致动器相对于硬致动器具有更好的优点,因为它们可以与被操纵的目标物体一致。这意味着一个机器人致动器可以被用来安全地抓住各种形状、尺寸和重量的目标物体,而不会损坏它们-这是硬抓手难以实现的平衡。
Abstract
By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News-From Washington, D.C., NewsRx journali sts report that a patent application by the inventor BASSETT, Michael (Bedford, MA, US), filed on November 30, 2023, was made available online on May 30, 2024. No assignee for this patent application has been made. News editors obtained the following quote from the background information suppli ed by the inventors: "Robotic grippers are used in a wide variety of application s, such as packaging, manufacturing, food preparation, and other fields. Many ro botic grippers have historically been made of hard or otherwise noncompliant ma terials, but recently "soft" elastomeric robotic actuators (or fingers) have bec ome widely available. Soft actuators have an advantage over hard actuators in th at they can conform to the target object being manipulated. This means that one robotic actuator can be used to securely grasp target objects of a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and weights without damaging them-a balance that is difficult for a hard gripper to achieve.
