Design of the hybrid gripper with the jaw-tip grip and suction

End effectors are disposed in the end of the manipulator. And the end effectors do physical contact with target materials for doing assigned and required tasks. On the analysis of requirements for assigned tasks, there is one gripper should handle the solid material and soft material together. In the pick and place task, it is better to do suctions than grips. For this need, in this paper, we describe the proposed gripper that can do grip the solid material and absorb the soft material. Further the proposed gripper has linear motion guide (LM guide) and electric motor for linear displacements. This leads to various suction strategies.
