SOFT PNEUMATIC ROBOTIC GRIPPER FOR THE MANIPULATION OF FRAGILE OBJECTS

CSIC and the Polytechnic University of Madrid have developed a robotic gripper especially designed for the accurate and safe manipulation of fragile or delicate objects. The gripper is composed of soft materials and each actuator can be easily reconfigured in order to perform complex grip movements while removing the risk of damaging the items. 

Industrial partners are being sought to collaborate through a patent licence agreement for the manufacture and commercialization of the gripper, and/or to incorporate it in their industrial processes.
