Abstract

A wheel mobile robot is used under tedious, dangerous and dirty conditions. These robots have a mobile platform, robotic arm and gripper. These mobile robots have numerous applications. A gripper of mobile robot is used for manipulation and pick and place tasks. The design of gripper is an active research topic within robotics and production field. The present work addresses a design of impactive two fingered gripper for a wheel mobile robot. The objective of paper is to design a gripper for pick and place task that can be utilized in any industry. The model of gripper is carried out using solidworks and Think-3 software. The paper discusses the mechanical design parameters like Von-Mises stress, deformation, and Torque requirement in computational analysis of gripper.
