By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News – A patent application by the inventors Leroy, Rudi (Huizingen, BE); Vanderhoydonk, Willem (Halle, BE), filed on January 25, 2024, was made available online on May 16, 2024, according to news reportin g originating from Washington, D.C., by NewsRx correspondents. This patent application is assigned to ABB Schweiz AG (Baden, Switzerland). The following quote was obtained by the news editors from the background informa tion supplied by the inventors: “Despite intensive development efforts, versatil ity and dexterity of current robot grippers falls far short of those of the huma n hand. Most two-finger grippers can hold an object only by squeezing it, so tha t if an object yields to the squeezing pressure, it is likely to escape from the gripper, or, if the gripper is controlled to maintain a certain squeezing press ure, be crushed by it. When a gripping surface isn’t cushioned, it will exercise its squeezing force only onto a very limited surface region of the object, and is thus likely to damage it. Grippers with three curved fingers can seize an obj ect without pressing it, but are ill-suited for handling objects of cuboid shape .”
