Fuzzy-logic based gripper design and analysis for objects grasping

Three fingered gripper is one of the examples for end effector in robotic technologies that are actuated by the controller and joint actuator. Gripper has been used widely in industrial applications such as to pick and place, product assembly, paintings, and other tasks. In this research, one of the...
