Self-developed rubber fingers for robotsWinner of the video contest in the category chemistry
4 July 2023, by MIN-Dekanat
Alexey Stepanyuk took first place in the chemistry category with his video "Merry Christmas!". His video shows the soft rubber fingers for robotic applications developed in the research group of Dr. Werner Pauer in action. In the video, which is accompanied by Christmas music, a robot packs small Christmas packages using a universal gripper equipped with rubber fingers. The fingers were produced using an injection molding process, and a suitable gripper base was produced using a 3D printer. Via pneumatics, the fingers can be spread according to the bellows principle by generating a vacuum and closed with the help of overpressure.
The competition: Show us your research videos!
Research at the MIN Faculty should become more visible! This was the motto of the MIN faculty's competition "Show us your research videos! In this series we present the videos of the winners of the individual departments, which were awarded by a prize jury.
