The gripper is 8-DOF and uses planar and serial linked mechanism. This type of gripper is able to grip objects with different properties such as irregular shapes, texture, fragile (need to be gripped cautiously). PID controllers were used for positioning and the force controlling. This project mainly focused about the prehension stage of the grasping procedure by PID controlling. The main idea is to build a complex gripper to grip and handle various objects which have different physical properties such as shape, size, fragile etc. This area is mostly a developing area due to vast improvement in nanotechnology, hi-computations, and advanced sensors etc. For hi-speed signal acquisitioning, driver and the controlling, an interface card was developed which communicates with the computer PCI card to interact fast with the physical world. C and assembly programing languages were used to control PCI card and for the interface card.
