The Fractal Hand-II: Reviving a Classic Mechanism for Contemporary Grasping Challenges
Malcolm Tisdale,Joel W. Burdick,Malcolm Tisdale,Joel W. Burdick
This paper and its companion propose a new fractal robotic gripper, drawing inspiration from the centuryold Fractal Vise. The unusual synergistic properties allow it to passively conform to diverse objects using only one actuator. Designed to be easily integrated with prevailing parallel jaw grippers, it alleviates the complexities tied to perception and grasp planning, especially when dealing wit...
