The Prototype. The end effector Head is remotely operated via strings, allowing the head to be disposed of without the electronics package, which is shown near the top.
Two-finger Multi-DOF Folding Robot Grippers
This project was about helping robots eat Sushi. A novel design for a folding robotic gripper with in-hand manipulation ability once deployed. The design loosely mimics how Chopsticks work and can be deployed through a small incision in a body for surgery. For this project, I had the pleasure of working with the lovely Dr. Cong Wang.
