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

  • ROS End-Effector: A Hardware-Agnostic Software and Control Framework for Robotic End-Effectors

    2023-07-22 - Research Publication - ROS End-Effector provides a hardware-abstraction layer, APIs, simulation tools and graphical interfaces for diverse robot end effectors. The framework exposes high-level grasp primitives while masking differences in kinematics, actuation and communication protocols. Simulated and real-hardware demonstrations span under-actuated grippers and anthropomorphic hands, including the tracked 3FG15, 2F-85 and 3-Finger Adaptive Gripper.
