To design and develop soft robot gripper based on flexible manufacturing system (FMS).

The application of sensing mechanism and soft robotics for controlling a pneumatic actuator-soft robotic gripper was designed and evaluated. The main objective of this project is to design a soft robot gripper that can handle various products in terms of geometries and materials that enable to solve issues faced by industry mainly on the customized products which handling is undefined. By making use of the control system with the aids of sensors and pneumatic actuator, the gripper is able to grasp accurately on the grasped object with different grasping points. The mentioned parameters had been evaluated by reflecting the implication of flexible manufacturing system (FMS) and work in progress (WIP) through grasping different objects that consist of different shapes and material. The result showed that the developed soft robot gripper is able to grasp different objects appropriately. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
