Abstract :
Robotic grippers are widely used in industries for handling objects. This paper presents the procedure of design and fabrication of a stepper motor controlled robotic gripper to be used in industries for handling small objects. The gripper has one degree of freedom for linear motion and one degree of freedom for rotational motion. A linear actuator has been employed to give translational motion to the gripper. Based on the design requirement data, a kinematic analysis has been done to accurately predict the design parameters useful in proper selection of motor and linear actuator.
