Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This paper presents the preliminary work on prototype design and analysis of a 3D printed three-fingered underactuated robotic gripper with a breakaway clutch mechanism. An underactuated mechanical design, kinematics of gripper's finger and a breakaway clutch mechanism are described in details. These elements provide passive adaptive object grasping and relatively high load carrying capacity of the gripper. The robotic gripper was prototyped using 3D printing technology and off-the-shelf components. Simulation and experimental results of grasping performance characterization of the robotic gripper are also presented.
