關於 Bloom 軟體機械夾爪
Bloom係一款專為自動化搬運同組裝任務而設計嘅軟體機械夾爪。呢款夾爪嘅設計靈感嚟自人類嘅手掌,以及法國薔薇循環綻放嘅形態。Bloom以矽膠製成,並利用氣壓驅動。可伸縮嘅「指甲」設計令佢可以精準夾取細薄物件。可摺疊嘅「花瓣」結構則方便舀取顆粒狀物料。靈活嘅「掌心」部分可以調節開合闊度,用嚟應付較大件嘅物件。夾爪透過低壓同安全嘅氣壓操作嚟切換唔同嘅抓取模式。Bloom能夠安全咁處理精細物品,適合喺人類工作人員附近操作使用。

由設計師提供嘅製作人員名單、團隊成員同技術詳情。
- 獨特屬性
- Bloom is a bio-inspired, pneumatically actuated, shape morphing soft robotic gripper that is capable of on-site rapid workspace reconfigurability. It features passive retractable nails, bi-directional foldable petals, and a flexible palm to adapt to various grasping and manipulation tasks. The ability to rapidly reconfigure grasping workspace on-the-fly allows Bloom to perform assembly tasks consisting of highly varying subtasks, a feat previously not possible using conventional rigid or existing soft grippers.
- 尺寸同包裝
- 115 x 115 x 152mm

- 設計挑戰
- Consumer goods, logistics, and food industries have been benefiting from robotic intervention to meet evolving demands. In such industries, reliable robotic handling of food rely on versatile gripper interfaces with comprehensive and adaptive capabilities. Compared to traditional rigid grippers, Bloom, a state-of-the-art soft gripper utilizes compliant soft actuators made using functional hyperelastic materials, allowing it to grasp a wider range of geometries safely and reliably.
- 研究
- Silicone and air are both soft materials and are the main components in this soft gripper. Because of this, Bloom is able to interface with soft objects safely and effectively.
Bloom can be used in many circumstances including food preparation and healthcare. Because of its material compliance, it is able to work closely with delicate objects and human coworkers. Thus, narrowing the gap between robots and humans. - 靈感
- A product of the Bio-Inspired Robotics Design (BRD) Lab at the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD), Bloom was inspired by both the dexterity of the human hand and the intentional cyclic blooming of the Rosa gallica (Gallic Rose). Mimicking the function of the corpus unguis, (human fingernail) Bloom, can grasp objects as thin as 300 microns, large objects as heavy as 1.4kgs, while being able to scoop objects as small as 1.5 millimeters in radius.
- 項目時長
- The project concluded in February 2021, at the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD)
- 操作流程
- Bloom features retractable nails to help in precision grasping of small and thin objects. An optimized bi-directional flap design allows for scooping actions for granular objects such as grains, jelly or scrambled eggs. A multi-material palm design allows for changing Bloom’s aperture for wide objects. Bloom utilizes low, safe pressures (-80kPa to 60kPa) to switch between and operate the various grasping modes.
