Soft Drag Gripper - a soft simultaneous multiple object gripper designed to work in rectangle boxes

Kurzfassung

In the field of logistics, humans have the ability to grasp multiple objects simultaneously. This paper presents a hardware solution in the form of the Soft Drag Gripper, that demonstrates excellent capabilities for grasping multiple objects simultaneously. The drag design enables efficient emptying. of rectangular boxes.. Simple strategies can be employed to increase the number of picks per grasp, thereby reducing time and costs. A benchmark compares SDG to exiting design solution showing higher pick rate than other designs.
