Abstract
Techniques for a conformal gripping end effector such as a gripping finger are provided. In an example, a conformal finger mechanism can include a proximal link, a connecting link, a distal link, a finger link coupling and a spring. The proximal link can be coupled via a proximal link pivot to an actuator housing and the connecting link can be coupled to an actuator rod of the actuator and the distal link. The distal link can be coupled to the connecting link and the proximal link. The spring can be coupled to an offset portion of a proximal end of the proximal link.
