Analytic and Data-Driven Force Prediction for Vacuum-Based Granular Grippers
MACHINES(2024)
摘要
As manufacturing and assembly processes continue to require more adaptable systems for automated handling, innovative solutions for universal gripping are emerging. These grasping systems can enable the handling of wide varieties of shapes, with gripping forces varying with grasped geometries. For the efficient usage of handling systems, precise offline and online prediction models for resulting grasping forces for different objects are necessary. In previous research, a flexible vacuum-based granular gripper was developed, for which no option for predicting gripping forces is currently available. Various gripping force prediction methodologies within the current state of the art are examined and evaluated. For an assessment of grasping forces of previously untested objects for the examined gripper with limited data and low computational effort, two methodologies are proposed. An analytical, 2D-geometry-derived gripper-specific metric for geometries is compared to a methodology based on similarities of objects to a small existing dataset. The applicability and prediction quality for different object types is analyzed through validation experiments. Gripping force estimations are possible with both methodologies, with individual weaknesses towards geometric features such as air permeabilities. With further development, robust predictions of gripping forces could be achieved for a wide range of unknown object geometries with limited experimental effort.
