Problem Statement:
The challenges of gripping different types of object need to overcome by most of the robot development. There are numerous types of robot claws for gripping different objects. However, the proper functionality of a robot claw depends on the controller, actuation mechanism, and the design of the claw. In this research, the controller system for an ROV claw, experimenting with different types of actuation, and the design of claws will be investigated. |
