Barrett Hand vs Robotiq Adaptive Gripper

Our Adaptive Gripper has many advantages over the simple two-finger claws often found in industry, as it can automatically adapt its shape to the object it seizes. This allows a robot to pick up many objects with a single tool, thus removing the need for custom grippers and tool changers. However, it is not the only player in the game. The Barrett Hand, manufactured by Barrett Technology Inc., is another commercial, three fingered gripper which can adapt to objects of different shapes while preserving simplicity by using a small number of motors (4 for both grippers). Lets compare them.
