Robotiq Adaptive Gripper
The Robotiq adaptive gripper, is a gorgeous heavy-duty dexterous hand for industrial manipulation and research. As you can see in the video below, it can manipulate objects of various sizes and shapes without issue. This type of robot is used in research and in industry to assemble complex objects which use many differently shaped parts.
We covered this robot in the past but today we would like to announce a very significant drop in the price of this nifty robotic hand. Previously priced at 25,000 $, you can now get this dexterous robot for 18,000$ instead. This means there is a whopping 7,000 $ price cut, which makes it the most affordable adaptive industrial gripper on the market (as far as our research goes). Although most humans would prefer buying a car with this kind of money and may find 18,000$ is a bit steep for a robotic gripper, it is important to note that the BarretHand (a close competitor) is priced at roughly 80 000$, which is more than four times the price. Enough with the basic math, check the video bellow so see a pair of Robotiq adaptive grippers mounted on a Yaskawa manipulator.
If you would like to dispute our claim that this is the most affordable industrial-grade adaptive gripper, feel free to post a comment with some information about other awesome robotic hands.
