The problem of construction of drive of multiple-link gripper capable to operate with human infrastructure objects is considered in the article. Technical specifications of structural scheme of actuating link group of a gripper are determined with reference to analysis of human hand finger bones motion. Structural scheme of system of motion transmission to the output links that realizes group drive and does not have kinematic correspondence of links is recommended. Synthesis of structural scheme is accomplished on the basis of providing of adaptability of output links location to the grasped object surface contour. The key point of the construction is variability of output link according to the interaction with grasped object. This is provided by passive power connections which are initiated between output links and motion transmission system links. Sequence of functioning of actuating link group is represented. Keywords: synthesis, structural scheme, drive, multiple-link gripper, actuating link group, passive power connections.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
