Kinematic Design of a Radius-Variable Gripper with 1-D.O.F. Used in High-Voltage Hot-Line Cleaning Robot

This paper presents the design of a novel radius-variable-gripper (RVG) for use as end-effector of high-voltage hot-line cleaning robot (HVCR). A eight-bar linkage mechanism is proposed to obtain the aim of 1-dof acutuation. According to the shape of insulators, the dimension design and kinematic an...
