| Summary: | Generally, robot gripper is the tool to enhancing the efficiency and ability of grasping task of robot manipulator. The interaction between the object and the grasping finger is the main target of robotic gripper design stage. For this research, robot gripper is then proposed as the new method of robot gripper force control using real-time estimate force feedback signal in order to achieve higher performance of grasping objects. Robot gripper kinematics is also analyzed and adjusted to more practical development. The object manipulation is also identifiable using recursive least square estimation technique of both hard and soft objects during grasping. Force controller of robot gripper is obtained using real-time estimate force feedback signal by the recursive least square method. Comparison of proportional–integral–derivative controller gains is tuned with different force feedback signals, normal force feedback, and estimate force feedback during grasping hard and soft objects validated by experiment. The results of design and development are illustrated by simulation and experimental methods. In addition, due to the limitation of electromagnetic interference, signals will not affect other instrumentations with restricted working condition. The range of gripper motion is detected by applied visible light signal of light-emitting diode and photodiode as limit sensors.
