摘要
This letter proposes a novel pneumatic soft robotic hand that incorporates a mechanism that can switch the airflow path using a single airflow control. The developed hand can control the finger motion and operate the surface friction variable mechanism. In the friction variable mechanism, a lubricant is injected onto the high-friction finger surface to reduce surface friction. To inject the lubrication using a positive-pressure airflow, the Venturi effect is applied. The design and evaluation of the airflow-path switching and friction variable mechanisms are described. Moreover, the entire design of a soft robotic hand equipped with these mechanisms is presented. The performance was validated through grasping, placing, and manipulation tests.
