Abstract: An end effector of a robotic device is disclosed. The end effector includes a plurality of array segments, a plurality of UV light modules, and a first articulating member. Each array segment of the plurality of array segments is coupled to at least one other array segment of the plurality of array segments. Moreover, each UV light module is coupled to a different array segment of the plurality of array segments. The first articulating member is configured to cause at least one of the plurality of array segments to move relative to at least one other array segment.

Abstract: A robotic finger with a stiffening member is provided that includes a front facing member for gripping and a back end member that supports the front facing member. The front facing member is conformable about a target object and includes the stiffening member that alleviates bendset by returning the front facing member to an initial state when the front facing member is no longer conformed about the target object.

Abstract: A robotic gripping device is provided. The device includes a finger having a worm gear coupled to its base end. The device also includes an actuator having a motor and a shaft, wherein the shaft is configured to rotate a worm coupled to the worm gear, and the actuator is mounted on a carriage such that the actuator is configured to slide along an axis. The device also includes a spring having first and second ends, wherein the first end is coupled to the motor and the second end is fixed. Further, the actuator is configured to (i) rotate the shaft relative to the motor by a first amount to move the finger toward an object, and (ii) when the finger is in contact with the object and is prevented from further movement, further rotate the shaft relative to the motor to slide the actuator along the axis.

Abstract: A sensing device is described for mounting on a movable component of a robotic device. The sensing device includes a plurality of illumination sources comprising at least one ultraviolet (UV) illumination source. The sensing device further includes at least two cameras arranged in a stereo pair. The sensing device additionally includes a camera with a UV filter, wherein the UV filter is configured to allow wavelengths corresponding to UV light and to block wavelengths corresponding to visible and near infrared light, wherein the UV filter allows transmission of light within an angular range such that the UV filter allows for the transmission of light at one end of the angular range to be equivalent to the transmission of light at an opposite end of the angular range.

Abstract: A reusable mechanism is disclosed for coupling two robotic appendages, such that an unintended force acting against a side of one of the appendages may decouple the appendages. The mechanism includes a revolved male dovetail mated to a revolved female dovetail. The mechanism may further include a channel within the male dovetail and a detent that inhibits rotation of the male dovetail in relation to the female dovetail.

Abstract: A device is provided. The device includes a worm drive comprising a worm and a worm gear. The device also includes an actuator comprising a motor, a shaft, and the worm, wherein the shaft is configured to rotate about a shaft axis, and the actuator is configured to (i) drive the worm drive, and (ii) move linearly along the shaft axis. The device also includes a first spring and a second spring, wherein the second ends are fixed, and wherein the first and second springs are configured to resist movement of the actuator along the shaft axis in opposite directions as a result of forces transmitted through the worm drive. The device further includes a linear position encoder configured to determine a position of the actuator along the shaft axis.

Abstract: A robotic gripping device with a preshaper is provided. The robotic gripping device includes two opposable fingers, each finger having a deformable gripping surface, a base, and a fingertip. The robotic gripping device also includes an actuator coupled to the base of each of the fingers, wherein the actuator is configured to move the fingers toward and away from each other. The robotic gripping device also includes a preshaper component positionable between the fingers, wherein when the fingers are moved toward each other by the actuator and the deformable gripping surface of each finger contacts the preshaper component, the deformable gripping surface of each finger is deformed by the preshaper component such that the fingertips of each finger are curled inward toward each other.
