France – Industrial robots – CONCEPTION ET LA REALISATION D’UN PREHENSEUR FLEXIBLE INDUSTRIEL POUR LA SAISIE EN ENVIRONNEMENT LOGISTIQUE

The objective of this tender is the design of a robotic gripper dedicated to the manipulation and heterogeneous palletisation of fresh and ultra-fresh products on logistics platforms in an industrial environment. The products to be handled are packages, which generally contain several Customer Sales Units (UC or UVC). They must be grouped on EURO format pallets (80x120cm). The PPRIME Institute is responsible for the development of the said gripper and the robotic cell consisting of a manipulator arm equipped with the gripper. This cell will be implemented and tested at the PPRIME Institute facilities under real conditions with examples of heterogeneous palletisation. The RoBioSS team of the PPRIME Institute is a specialist in the development of multi-fingered grippers and has filed several CNRS patents in this context. The videos on the team's YouTube channel illustrate these developments of robotic hands capable of performing grasping operations by adapting to the geometry of the object or the coordinated manipulation of an object within the hand.
