Abstract :
The paper presents a design of a 2 DOF gripper assembly with a load capacity of 0.5 kg, for underwater expedition. The gripper circuit has a tactile like sensing mechanism wherein the gripping pressure can be set depend upon ruggedness. A mechanical design of the gripper is also given, whose configuration and hardware may vary at the user level applications
