Paul Ekas is president of SAKE Robotics, who's vision is to deliver the lowest cost, high dexterity robotic grippers (“hands”) that enable next generation robots. In this podcast, Paul talks about his EZGripper and how he designed it to be low cost, lightweight, robust and to offer reliable gripping of small and large objects.
The EZGripper by SAKE Robotics is a tendon based gripper using Dyneema tendons and aluminum oxide
eyelets to make it durable and able to handle rough environments.
The EZGripper is under-actuated, the fingers stay straight when picking up small objects and wrap around large objects. You can control position and torque allowing you to grip soft or hard objects and to do so gently or firmly.
