GAL2
Smart Tactile-Native Gripper
OVERVIEW
A robotic gripper that can handle any object without customisation or pre-programming!
Closed-loop tactile control - built in, not bolted on.
The GAL2 Smart Tactile-Native Gripper is a 2-finger gripper that autonomously and dynamically applies the optimal grip force, calculated in real-time, to prevent translational slip of the grasped object, based on the measured coefficient of static friction between the sensors and the grasped object and the measured shear force acting on the sensors.
Grip different objects without the need to customise the gripper fingers or reprogram the grip parameters.
Suitable for:
▪ Pick ‘n’ place
▪ General manipulation
▪ Sorting by: Weight, Size , Compliance
▪ Joint human-robot control
