“…The dimensioning should be done automatically based on a procedure similar to the one of Pedrazzoli et al [11] considering information of all the domains. When the dimensioning is done, the gripping forces, which depend on the characteristics of the part, the gripping principle and the operational elements are calculated in a third step.…”

“…where the design of the jaws plays an important role for the overall performance. A quite simple but very effective approach to this challenge is the method of Pedrazzoli et al [11]. Not only research offers solutions for the selection process, also several of the gripper manufacturers offer tools on their homepages to make it easier for the customer to find the right gripper.…”

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.

Designing robust end-effector plays a crucial role in performance of a robot workcell. Design automation of industrial grippers' fingers/jaws is therefore of the highest interest in the robot industry. This paper systematically reviews the enormous studies performed in relevant research areas for finger design automation. Key processes for successfully achieving automatic finger design are identified and research contributions in each key process are critically reviewed. The proposed approaches in each key process are analyzed, verified and benchmarked. The most promising methods to accomplish finger design automation are highlighted and presented.

“…The similar approaches can also be found in the CAD modelbased gripper selection. 95,96 However, these existing studies mainly manage to address the problem from the geometric dimension, or the dexterity, or the functionality of the tooling itself. There is a necessity to establish kinds of rules of tooling design to involve it as part of the problems to maximize the robotic cell productivity, from an overall systems engineering perspective, including:…”

Automatic operation system with industrial robots has become more and more popular, especially with the urgent requirement from 3C (Communication, computer and consumer electronics) manufactory. A robot cell, which often involves one or more robots and accessory equipment, can be regarded as part of the larger theme of cellular manufacturing. The objective that most interests manufacturers is the investment return rate. It is largely determined by the productivity of robotic cell, and the leading time of robotic production system. Therefore, a fast and efficient method to design a robotic cell layout with the maximum throughput for a given task is undeniably a worthy research topic. This paper attempts to discuss the challenges and key technologies in the robotic cell layout optimal design. The proper selection of configuration for task, manual operation skill learning and translation, collaborative design tool-chain, optimization in cell layout and operation scheduling, optimal end-of-arm tooling design, and human-robot collaboration are included in this discussion with existing or on-going problem-solving key technologies.
