Classification of Robotic Grippers and the Next Generation

 
In the world of robotics, both the industry and application environment determine the specific tool used at the end of a robot arm. This tool varies in definition from an EOAT (end-of-arm-tooling) to a manipulator or gripper. As automation applications become more complex and robots continue to be utilized for efficiency, the need for more versatile, dexterous grippers has emerged. Traditional grippers have features or classification criteria that are commonly given to them.
