Abstract

In manipulators, grippers using flexible materials have beendeveloped extensively. By using a flexible material, it is possible to grasp easily breakable objects and objects with different shapes. In this research,we developed two grippers withfingertips thatrespective used two kind of magnetic functional fluid. Then, we checked its performance by making it grasp various objects. This aims to grasp objects of various shapes without breaking them.
