3-Finger Adaptive Robot Gripper

About

About 3-Finger Adaptive Robot Gripper

The 3-Finger Adaptive Robot Gripper uses articulated under-actuated fingers that conform around an object during closing. Pinch, wide and scissor modes support cylindrical, spherical, flat and irregular parts with one programmable end effector.

Position, speed and force settings are controlled through the robot interface, and object detection confirms whether a part has been acquired. Robotiq supplies integration kits, software and technical documentation for manufacturing, laboratory automation and manipulation research.

Capabilities

Source-backed capabilities

  • Capability areas: Robotic grasping, Adaptive grasping
  • Workflows: End-effector manipulation, Material handling
  • Operating environments: Collaborative robots, advanced manufacturing cells, research labs and quality-testing setups
  • Target markets: Manufacturers and labs needing articulated gripping without a full five-finger dexterous hand.
  • Deployment model: Mounted as a three-finger adaptive end effector for cobots and industrial robot arms where flexible grasp geometry matters more than a simple parallel grip.
  • Dense-clutter grasping

    Research demonstration - 2021-06-07 - The paper learns to detect multi-modal grasps for dexterous grasping in dense clutter.

Context

Market context

Three-finger adaptive gripper for cobot/manufacturing work where a simple parallel gripper is not flexible enough.

  • Target environment: Collaborative robots, advanced manufacturing cells, research labs and quality-testing setups
  • Workflow context: Adaptive grasping, pick-and-place, quality testing and flexible object handling
  • Customer context: Manufacturers and labs needing articulated gripping without a full five-finger dexterous hand.
  • Deployment model: Mounted as a three-finger adaptive end effector for cobots and industrial robot arms where flexible grasp geometry matters more than a simple parallel grip.
  • Commercial maturity: Commercial product with public payload, stroke and grip-force figures.
  • Adoption constraints: Fit depends on robot compatibility, mounting, application payload, object geometry and whether three-finger adaptation is enough for the task.
  • Adjacent products: Seed RH4D, qb SoftHand Industry, Unitree Dex1-1, adaptive gripper families
