Abstract:
Various stabilization devices for a robotic end of arm tool, such as a robotic gripper, are described. The stabilization device is provided in a palm area of the end of arm tool and serves as a backstop against which actuators of the end of arm tool can push a compliant or slick target object. The stabilization device may take many any of a variety of shapes, depending on the application. Based on the shape of the stabilization device and the action of the robotic gripper on the target object, the target object can be moved or rotated in a more stable configuration, thus allowing the actuators to apply less force while still maintaining a firm grasp of the object.

Claim (Index 1):
A stabilization device for a robotic end effector comprising one or more robotic actuators capable of moving between an undeployed state and a deployed state by curving along a central axis of rotation, a distal end of the one or more robotic actuators being brought into proximity with a palm region of an end effector base when the one or more actuators is in the deployed state, the stabilization device comprising:\n a stabilization device base sized and shaped to fit in the palm region of the robotic end effector; and at least one ridge extending away from the base by a height, the ridge having a length extending parallel to the central axis of rotation of the one or more robotic actuators, wherein the at least one ridge defines a target area that is positioned so that, when the one or more robotic actuators is in the deployed state, at least a portion of a target object is provided in the target area and is secured in place between the distal end of the one or more actuators and the at least one ridge.
