Harsha Prahlad talks about his novel gripper for soft goods manufacturing and how he got into robotics via the aerospace industry. Host: Per Sjöborg, Robots in Depth #21 supported by http://www.aptomica.com
We get to hear about how the electrostatics gripper he is developing will be able to grip objects that previously have been considered hard or impossible to grip.
This technology is highly relevant in clothing and soft goods manufacturing. It will also be significant in other contexts, for instance in automotive when carbon fiber structures are introduced to make vehicles more energy efficient. Another interesting area is logistics, were a conveyor belt made from the Grabits gripper can be used to improve item transport, sort items and delayer stacked items.
