Abstract :
This paper deals with the concept, design, construction and experimental results of a robotic gripping system dedicated to grasping flat non-rigid materials (NRMs). Through this study a consistent review in end-effector technology for NRMs has been made, a gripping system based on a number of functional requirements is proposed and the final selected design is presented. The performance of the constructed gripper is assessed by a set of experimental results and finally a significant discussion is provided
