Summary Draft 2
The
article "This soft robotic gripper can screw in your light bulbs for
you", (2017), a team of engineers at the University of
California, San Diego, designed and built a soft robotic grip and its features.
The soft robotic gripper can "pick up and manipulate objects without
needing to see them and needing to be trained." It has three fingers made
of pneumatic chambers which, have multiple degrees of freedom allowing manipulation
of the held object. Each finger is covered with a "smart sensing skin made
of silicone rubber" with embedded "sensors made of conducting carbon
nanotubes". The sensing skin records and detects the nanotubes
conductivity changes as the fingers bend. The data is then processed by the
control board, which then creates a 3D model of the object the gripper is
manipulating.
