A Robust Design Process for an Aerial Gripper: Presented at AIR-2021 Conference (IIT-Kanpur)
Channel: Rajashekhar V S
Date: 2021-07-13

A robust design process for an aerial gripper is presented in this video. The gripper grasps an object that has a ferrous coated flat surface. The grasping of the object to be transported is done passively, i.e. using permanent magnets. The releasing of the object is done actively, i.e. using a Scotch Yoke Mechanism. 


The following details are explained in this presentation:
1) Need for aerial grippers 
2) System design 
3) Design of gripper mechanism 
4) Gripper volume optimization 
5) Preliminary experimental results in manual and autonomous mode
