Abstract

The invention provides a robot gripper, which comprises two robot arms, an upper contact part and a lower contact part arranged at respective ends of the two robot arms. When grasping an object, the upper and lower contact portions are in contact with the top and bottom of the object. The upper and lower contact portions are hemispherical with a predetermined radius. The sensor unit is mounted on the upper contact part and the lower contact part. When grasping an object, the sensor unit measures a vertical force or a horizontal force applied to the upper contact portion or the lower contact portion. There is provided a control unit configured to determine whether the center of gravity of the object is at a center position between the arm ends using the vertical and horizontal distances between the arm ends and the vertical component force measured by the sensor unit when the object is grasped.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application is based on 35 U.S.C. §119(a) claiming the benefit of priority to Korean Patent Application No. 10-2012-0154474 filed on December 27, 2012, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0003] The present disclosure relates to a robotic gripper and a method of controlling a robotic gripper that can, when manipulating an unknown object whose center of gravity is unknown, by calculating the distance from the center of gravity of the object to be lifted to an arm with a 2-axis sensor mounted on the gripper The distance of the contact point is selected, a new contact point is selected, the object is grasped repeatedly and the vertical and horizontal force components are calculated to determine stability. Background technique [0004] Robotic grippers are used to grasp and move objects. A two-arm robot attempts to grasp and lift an object with the center of gravity o...
