Abstract
A robot end effector is contemplated. The robot end effector comprises a first deformable gripper, a second deformable gripper coupled to the first deformable gripper by a linkage, and an actuator coupled to the linkage and operable to move at least one of the first deformable gripper and the second deformable gripper to a position defining an angle between the first deformable gripper and the second deformable gripper that is greater than or equal to 130 degrees.
Claims19
A robot end effector comprising:
- a first deformable gripper;
- a second deformable gripper coupled to the first deformable gripper by a linkage, wherein the second deformable gripper is positioned perpendicular to a fixed link component of the linkage;
- and
- an actuator coupled to the linkage and operable to move at least one of the first deformable gripper and the second deformable gripper to a position defining an angle between the first deformable gripper and the second deformable gripper that is greater than or equal to 130 degrees.
