title = "Development of pneumatically driven hand capable of grasping flexible objects",
abstract = "Industrial robots equipped with various grippers have been introduced in production sites and most of them are electrically driven. Because of the electric actu-ator{\textquoteright}s characteristics, they have no back drivability, making it difficult for them to grasp flexible objects. In this study, therefore, we propose a pneumatically driven robot hand capable of grasping flexible objects by effectively employing the compressibility and back drivability of air.",
