Abstract

A multi-modal, reconfigurable, and adaptive gripper system may include a suction cup assembly, a static finger assembly, and at least two reconfigurable finger assemblies that are controlled by a pressure-regulated actuation assembly. In order to grasp an item, a grasp mode, a finger configuration, and/or force(s) to apply to the item may be selected or determined. Various combinations of the suction cup assembly and finger assemblies may be used, with various finger configurations, and with various air pressures or differentials supplied by the pressure-regulated actuation assembly, in order to apply the selected force(s) to portions of the item and reliably grasp, transport, and release the item as part of various automated material handling processes.
