3-Finger Adaptive Robot Gripper History

Robotiq is a spin-off from the Laval University Robotics Lab. At the time, the 3 co-founders were not quite sure that converting a research project into real industrial product would work out. But several years later, I think we can say they have succeeded in making the transition. As we just celebrated our company’s 7th anniversary, we thought it would be great to checkout some flashbacks of the 3-Finger Adaptive Gripper.
