The OctopusGripper from Festo robotics was designed with an eye toward human and robot collaboration.
One of several different designs from Festo, the OctopusGripper features a soft silicon tentacle-like structure lined with suction cups. The arm is pneumatically controlled, and can grip a wide range of shapes securely.
The OctopusGripper is meant to work with the company’s BionicMotionRobot, which was created to offer a robot able to work safely and nimbly alongside humans.
This goes beyond standard conception of finger digit manipulation,may I refer you to this same site for DHL requirement for a robotic selection pack and stack machine,competition.
Secondly for the simplist hand finger digit movement, I have made, coiled springs with coils releaved at bend points with flexible internal tubing connected using either hydaulics or pneumatics,
Offers 0-90 degree movement,by bulging and forcing open spring ,multiples of arrangement offer hands and other concepts with minimumn complications. Posted by Stephen Fitton on April 7, 2017
