Grippers are attached at the end of an industrial arm robot for material handling purpose. Grippers plays a major role in all pick and place application industries. Those are connected as end effectors to realize and develop a task in an industrial work floor. Pneumatic gripper works with the principle of compressed air. The gripper is connected to a compressed air supply. When air pressure is applied on the piston, the gripper gets opened while the air gets exist from the piston it gets closed. It is possible to control the force acting on the gripper by controlling the air pressure with the help of the valve. The objective is to design an effective, simple, and economic gripper for pick and place application.

A three-degree-of-freedom Delta parallel manipulator driven by a crank-slider mechanism is proposed. In Cartesian space, a gate-shaped curve is taken as the path of the pick-and-place operation, combining with the inverse kinematics theory of the Delta robot, and a mathematical model of robot statia force transmission is established. The force and the output torque of the robot-driven joint are taken as the main performance indexes, and the value of the crank-slider mechanism applied to Delta robot is further measured. The simulation results show that the delta robot driven by the crank slider mechanism can reduce the force and output torque of the driving joint during the picking and discharging operation, and has good practical application value.

Since pneumatic systems are widely used in various branches of industry, the need to find ways to reduce energy consumption in these systems has become very pressing. The reduction in energy consumption in these systems is reflected in the reduction of compressed air consumption. The paper presents a cylinder control system with a piston rod on one side, in which the reduction in energy consumption is ensured by using different levels of supply pressure in the working and the return stroke, and by holding the cylinder piston rod in its final positions with a clamping cartridge. Clamping and holding the piston rod in its final position further affects the reduction in energy consumption. Experimental data show that the application of the proposed control leads to a decrease in compressed air consumption of 25.54% to 32.97%, depending on the compressed air pressure used in the return stroke. The cost-effectiveness of the proposed cylinder control with different levels of compressed air pressure and holding the final position by clamping cartridge is presented.

Aerial manipulation has direct application prospects in environment, construction, forestry, agriculture, search, and rescue. It can be used to pick and place objects and hence can be used for transportation of goods. Aerial manipulation can be used to perform operations in environments inaccessible or unsafe for human workers. This paper is a survey of recent research in aerial manipulation. The aerial manipulation research has diverse aspects, which include the designing of aerial manipulation platforms, manipulators, grippers, the control of aerial platform and manipulators, the interaction of aerial manipulator with the environment, through forces and torque. In particular, the review paper presents the survey of the airborne platforms that can be used for aerial manipulation including the new aerial platforms with aerial manipulation capability. We also classified the aerial grippers and aerial manipulators based on their designs and characteristics. The recent contributions regarding the control of the aerial manipulator platform is also discussed. The environment interaction of aerial manipulators is also surveyed which includes, different strategies used for end-effectors interaction with the environment, application of force, application of torque and visual servoing. A recent and growing interest of researchers about the multi-UAV collaborative aerial manipulation was also noticed and hence different strategies for collaborative aerial manipulation are also surveyed, discussed and critically analyzed. Some key challenges regarding outdoor aerial manipulation and energy constraints in aerial manipulation are also discussed.
