Overview
This research is focused on robotic grasping and agricultural robotics.
Research activities
In this project you will develop a soft robotic gripper that is suitable for harvesting delicate fruits.
The gripper is intended to be used on a seven-degrees-of-freedom (7DoF) robotic arm for autonomous fruit harvesting.
Different approaches to this problem can be taken, including designing the haptic sensors or soft finger mechanisms.
Outcomes
We expect this project to explore whether we can design a:
- soft robotic gripper that can mimic human hand dexterity
- soft actuator gripper to harvest soft fruits like blueberries or raspberries.
