Friction Grabber Manipulators
Friction Grabber Manipulators
Friction grabber manipulators apply force between an object and a pad, and then rely on the frictional force between the object and pad to manipulate the object.
The most common form of this manipulator is a claw which pinches an object. The claw pressing against the object provides the force, and the friction between the claw and the object allows for the object to be manipulated.
