Abstract: The invention relates to a clamping or gripping device (10) comprising a housing (12), a clamping guide (14) which is arranged in the housing (12), at least one clamping element (18) which can be moved in the clamping guide (14) along a clamping direction (16), and at least one position sensor (64) for detecting the position of the clamping element (18). The invention is characterized in that at least one inclined measuring surface (54) is provided in or on at least one clamping element (18), wherein the inclined measuring surface (54) is arranged at an angle (α) of more than 0° and/or less than 90°, in particular between 1° and 40°, preferably between 2° and 15°, relative to the clamping direction (16), and the at least one position sensor (64) is designed such that the position sensor detects the position of the at least one clamping element (18) along the clamping guide (14) on the basis of the distance (A) between the at least one position sensor (64) and the at least one inclined measuring surface (54), said distance running perpendicularly to the clamping direction (16).

Abstract: A low-friction medical device includes a first link, a second link, and a tension member. The first link is coupled to an instrument shaft and a first guide path is defined in the first link. The second link is rotatable relative to the first link through an angular range. A distal end portion of the second link is rotatably coupled to a tool member. A curved guide path is defined within the second link between the tool member and the first guide path. A curved guide surface of the second link defines a portion of the second guide path. A first portion of the tension member is parallel to a centerline of the first guide path, and a second portion is coupled to the tool member. A third portion of the tension member between the first and second portions is in contact with the curved guide surface throughout a portion of the angular range.

Abstract: Embodiments provide shelves, bracket systems, automated picker robots, totes, and other features that may be used with delivery vehicle configurations that have automated cargo areas. A delivery vehicle may include a picking robot that selectively retrieves packages for delivery without requiring substantial human intervention for locating those packages. The cargo area of the delivery vehicle may further comprise a plurality of customizable shelving units that generate custom-sized shelves for packages. The shelves may include a plurality of individually movable shelf brackets having retaining members that pivot between an extended and retracted position to hold the package in place and to enable the picking robot to retrieve the package from the shelf. Another embodiment provides for a tote having a drive mechanism to hold letters so that a letter may be automatically retrieved from the cargo arear and provided at a delivery location.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide an apparatus and a method for operating a pair of twistlocks and an associated robot. The apparatus comprises a first component adapted to clamp a first twistlock to allow the clamped first twistlock to be removed from a container; and a second component arranged adjacent to the first component and adapted to clamp a second twistlock to allow the clamped second twistlock to be removed from a container; or receive the first twistlock released from the first component to allow the first component to clamp the second twistlock. With the first and second components, the pair of twistlocks, especially mid-type twistlocks, can be operated more quickly with less operation steps. In this way, the operation efficiency for operating the mid-type twistlocks can be significantly improved with lower costs.

Abstract: A gripper which has a friction estimation module configured to estimate static and/or dynamic friction forces acting on gripping jaws is provided. The static friction force is calculated on the basis of constraining reactions whereto the gripping jaws are subjected, the constraining reactions being calculated at least as a function of an actuation force exerted on the gripping jaws, a coefficient of friction of gripper materials and/or lubricant used being known. The dynamic friction force is calculated on the basis of speed of the gripping jaws, width of sliding surfaces and distance between the sliding surfaces of the gripping jaws, the viscosity of the lubricant used being known.
