The Essential Guide to Robotic Grippers: From End Effectors to Automation

Introduction: The rise of automation has revolutionized countless industries, and robotic grippers play a fundamental role in this transformation. These ingenious mechanisms, also known as end effectors, act as the “hands” of robotic arms, enabling them to grasp, manipulate, and transport objects with precision. This comprehensive guide delves deep into the world of robotic grippers. We’ll…

In the end

All I hope for

Is to be a bit of warmth for you

When there's not a lot of warmth left

To go around

This was my nickname back in high school

why is it such a struggle to get good looking blue-yellow gear…..stop making me decimate my babygirl’s vibes n color scheme

drawings of my second favourite polycule and their son once again inspired by @rhymeswithchronic's mercy for the lamb series! (cropped individual designs under the cut + design notes)

all of these designs are made with details that are included in chronic's mercy for the lamb fic, so the matching jewelery that the polykour trio and boey have are from the fic -> specifically, the earrings that seawatt, emf and evbo wear are from the fic with my own little spin on them (such as adding a hanging amethyst to evbos plain gold studs so now it represents both sea and emf), the bracelets on seawatt and emfs hands (also i forgot to colour the rings on seawatt and emfs hands but . they ARE there)

all of the jewelery that represents emf has star designs on them btw lol

seawatt has vitiligo and tribal(? i hope that im using that right) markings because i just. thought it would be fun for him to have vitiligo but also with the partyloving and very culture centric environment the fighters used to be i felt like giving him those would fit well

he ALSO has heterochromia but thats not normal -> his right eye is black because of revival hjinks, not because he was born with it black

bandages on his chest are there cause of revival too and he always carries around health/regen pots incase his family needs it (and this guy denies being the mother? lmfao get a grip)

seawatt wears chainmail sandals with gold soles because he looks good in gold and he knows it

emfs 'BOOTS' are more like leg guards than anything his grippers are out 24/7 cause of his unique . mmmmmmmonster...??? anatomy and they have designs that are carried over from his former master boots + netherite engravings that evbo put in himself

emfs scars from when he was being held hostage above the void are gold cause he bleeds gold. i think. i dont know where i was going with that

evbos halo and wings are made out of netherite and they glow a little. his boots are shorter than most champions boots because hes a parkour Freak and he needs to be jumping 24/7 (this is not canon to the fic im sorry im projecting)

notice that evbo and boey look extremely similar if you ignore the copious amounts of scarring lmfao yeah thats intentional becasue apparently some people keep confusing evbo and boey ? anyway they both have jewelery from emf and seawatt, boey also has earrings from evbo

boey has grey streaks in his hair. is that from stress or revival am i a former dsmp fan who knows youll never get that out of me

evbos hair is a bit better off in terms of revi i mean grey hair but his hair ends are a little darker and frayed because the fic canon has his hair being in abysmal condition (understandable given. um. the whole state of the noob layer)

boey has his gloves that prevent him from scratching at himself!!! he keeps those on most of the time and a ceremonial sword given by some of the worshippers at the offerings altar

Ironing out my Mudwing hc design! Decided to go with a simpler design, something that’s easier to draw and also something I really like!

I decided to go all in on the grippers on the end of the wings (inspired by Gore Magala) and went with a more crocodilian look in terms of their back spikes and build!

Mudwings are my absolute favorite tribe so I just had to knock out their HC design first! I’m currently designing my Mudwing OC/Sona based off my hc design, and I’ll slide in a WIP below! 🧡🤎

Cowboy Mudwing go brrrrr :]

[raven-at-the-writing-desk]

morbidly fascinated by the dedication designers have to giving each character detailed, particular feet design. like those are no stock designs recycled through characters. oh no. riddle's toes here are not the same as floyd's toes in stitch event. incredible. can they please stop.

[Related post!]

I-I don’t see it… But to be fair, it’s most likely because I couldn’t look at the feet or grippers for that long without feeling deeply disgusted and uncomfortable so I had to click off 💦 (For this reason, I also won’t be including comparison shots in this post.)

I asked some friends for their opinions and they agreed that the live 2D models of the characters appear to have different feet in the outfits where they are more visible (such as Beach/Tropical Wear and Yasmina Silk/Silk Adorned). They cited differences such as Jack, Floyd, and Leona having wider feet and Riddle’s ankles being smaller. Again, I cannot confirm myself because looking at exposed feet for too long makes me ill 🤢 so I choose to trust the judgment of those friends.

It’s so odd to me that the dev team seems to have made very unique assets for the lower half of the characters’ bodies when they definitely do not do that for the top halves… (I believe they swap out using ~3 or 4 basic body types and arms?) even though the top halves are what we see the majority of the time in the game. It feels counterintuitive to me 😅 Wouldn’t you want it to be the other way around…?

Robot Grippers and Automation

Robot grippers are essential components in automation systems, enabling robots to interact with objects and tools effectively. They serve various functions depending on the specific application and can be found in different types of robots and automation setups. Here’s a summary of the key points you mentioned: Functions of Robot Grippers: Ensuring precise positioning and orientation of…

On a wave-battered rock in the northern Pacific Ocean, a fish called the sculpin grips the surface firmly to maintain stability in its harsh environment. Unlike sea urchins, which use their glue-secreting tube feet to adhere to their surroundings, sculpins manage to grip without a specialized adhesive organ like tube feet or the suction cups of octopuses. So, why is this significant, and why are scientists so keen to understand it? Marine organisms thriving in high-energy environments serve as excellent natural models for designing more efficient and effective human-engineered devices, such as robots, grippers and adhesives. Improved adhesives could have wide-ranging impacts, from enhancing medical devices to creating tires with better road grip.

Not a canon design, but I was wondering if you could draw a death gripper and bone knapper hybrid?

Two of the most objectively metal dragons in the entire franchise put in a blender? Say no more

Dragon #68 - Bone Gripper (Hybrid)

I'm honestly considering turning this guy into a new OC, I really really really like how it turned out. Or maybe this could be an updated design for Draugr... 👀 Much to consider...

[awfuckitssunshine]

i was not immune to the parkour civilization

0/10 would go for chicken and still fail

did i binge this series about an hour ago? yes.

did i instantly fall in love with everything? also yes

did i redesign the legends because they deserved it? yes

headcanons below lmao

Ice Legend!!

Helpful boy 10/10, wanted standard dnd adventurer mixed with jack frost, has no mouth (hidden always by wool lining)

Headcanons:

Ice is ALWAYS cold but its okay, because he prefers the cold

His hair is frozen like that(like he got out of the shower and stepped outside in the middle of winter)

He chews on ice cubes

His diamond boots have snowshoe bottoms, allowing him to never sink in snow

Glass Legend!

this is probably my favorite design because the skull is so <3<3<3

he's a little pathetic meow meow but he still won; a two hour victory is still a victory

Glass has the least changes from his original body because he is the youngest legend

He's a descendant of a mob people recognize but don't know from where

His knee pads are bullet proof glass

His diamond boots are very fancy boots with glass grippers on the toes and heels

Crystal Legend

he is a sassy king and hates everybody and judges you always

Crystal was originally Glass's best friend and encouraged him to become a champion... realizing how easy it would be for him to become champion because he knew he was better than Glass

Will not apologize for anything

Definitely is a crystal girlie secretly

His diamond boots protect his knees from bashing against crystals

Neo Legend!

i had to babygirlify him, he's been yassified, he has a flat affect and he's monotone

Uses cobbled deepslate for aesthetic and nothing else

Neo was originally unaware of other levels until he became champion

When he spawned in, his legs wouldn't work and, deciding to be kind, the champion before Neo made him legs and trained him

While his diamond boots do allow a bit more forgiving jumps and landing, Neo became good at neo parkour with intense practice and training

he hates when anyone says he didn't earn his title

I just realized that I draw critter Heart and Mind with little stubby paws even though i draw their humanoid designs with talons and claws. Soul gets his hooves, so why can't Heart and Mind get their little claws?

So here's Heart with the pointy grippers.

Might still draw them as little nubs for simplicity but the claws make them look like cute little gremlins of critters. So maybe I'll draw them with claws from time to time.

Chibi for @toothlesstdm of her Kromer design :) praise be my fellow grippers

Quester (1981) by David Buckley, London, UK. Quester was originally designed as a micromouse maze solver, taking part in the Wembley heats of the July 1981 Amazing Micromouse Contest, and in the September 1981 EUROMICRO competition in Paris. It was later converted into a general purpose robot with the addition of a gripper. It uses vision to detect the walls of the maze, and segmented bump sensors in case it doesn't, and uses a layered behaviour control program running on a 6502 based Acorn System 1. Quester was also a finalist in the Robotics Age "Home Robot Photo Contest" (1982), and ultimately won the Thezeus Award 1996 created and presented by Alan Dibley.

"The chassis consists of two main drive wheels with fore and aft casters. The drive wheels are hardboard disks with vacuum-cleaner belts for tires, each powered by a 6V DC motor. Via homemade shaft encoders the motors also drive two 8-bit up/down counters so that a preprogrammed path may be followed. Wire loops connected to micro-switches can be seen around the base - these provide reflexes through hardware timers on the interface board. Power comes from a 6V lead-acid battery in the central column which allows about three hours of service between charges. Twelve photo-transistors arranged as three pairs per side provide obstacle detection. One of each pair senses ambient light while the other is only sensitive to light from a particular direction. … At the front of the chassis are a pair of ultrasonic transducers for range-finding." – Quester, by David L. Buckley, Robotics Age, Jan/Feb 1982.
