Abstract

The selection and dimensioning of grippers have so far been done experience-based in most cases. As there are innumerable solutions for the gripping of a part, it is quite time consuming to find the optimal gripper for a specific part and task. However, there are few methodologies that apply this task, especially considering the flexibility of gripper systems. This paper suggests an approach how to automatically find the right gripper linking economical, flexibility and functional criteria.
