Abstract:
An improved robotic end effector (10) is disclosed. The end effector of the present invention possesses a novel breakaway clutch (100), which is combined with mechanically linked finger joints (72, 74) to significantly reduce control complexity while retaining the ability to accomplish enveloping grasps. In another embodiment, a finger using compliant tendons (320) to accomplish enveloping grasps is disclosed. A novel palm/finger configuration which further increases the versatility of the disclosed end effector without unduly increasing complexity is also disclosed.
