Title:
A FABRIC-HANDLING DUAL-MANIPULATOR SYSTEM WITH FABRIC ROLLING-UP END-EFFECTORS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2024/077926
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A fabric handling manipulator system for handling a subject fabric part comprises: a first robot manipulator; a second robot manipulator; a first rolling-up end-effector positioned by the first robot manipulator and adapted to grasp a first end of the subject fabric part with a roller having a suction port; a second rolling-up end-effector positioned by the second robot manipulator and adapted to grasp a second end of the subject fabric part with a roller having a suction port; a first force sensor; a second force sensor; and a vision sensor system configured and adapted to sense a pose. This system has numerous advantages, including a simple mechanical structure that improves the roller's access to smaller-sized fabric parts and increases the effective working envelop of the end-effector. A method for handling a subject fabric part is also provided.
