Abstract
A gripping device includes a plurality of grip modules configured to grip an object via suction applied to the surface of the object, a base part on which the plurality of grip modules is provided to be movable in an upward/downward direction or a leftward/rightward direction, and a controller configured to adjust movements of the grip modules or a movement of the base part based on property information including a material of the object, a degree of smoothness of a surface, or a weight or shape of the object.
Claims20
A gripping device comprising:
- a base part;
- a plurality of grip modules disposed at the base part and configured to grip an object by applying suction to a surface of the object, the plurality of grip modules being configured to move relative to the base part in an X-axis direction, a Y-axis direction orthogonal to the X-axis direction, or a Z-axis direction orthogonal to the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction;
- and
- a controller configured to adjust movements of the plurality of grip modules or a movement of the base part based on property information including a material of the object, a degree of smoothness of the surface of the object, a weight of the object, or a shape of the object.
