Design of a reinforced composite robotic finger for enhanced soft grasping using the Fin Ray effect and FEM
This research enabled the creation of a more advanced reinforced Fin Ray finger for soft robotics with improvements in performance and structural strength. The triangular shape has been found to enhance the distribution of loads and resistance to bending, thereby addressing the limitations of previous models. Strategic reinforcement placement compromised the stiffness and dexterity required for grasping, thereby affecting the robustness of the design. This research enabled the development of a more advanced reinforced Fin Ray finger for soft robotics, with improvements in both performance and structural strength. At 20 mm, an increase of 37 % in gripping force was observed with the increase from 1.96 Newtons to 2.68 Newtons. The average stress also improved from 210.10 kPa to 244.10 kPa. Strategic reinforcement placement enhanced both stiffness and dexterity, while the hexagonal geometry provided the optimal balance of force resistance. The results demonstrated the advantages of innovative geometric configurations in soft robotics. A comparison of these three reinforcement geometries showed that the hexagonal geometry is both the most effective for generating a gripping force (2.81 Newtons) without compromising structural durability. In addition, the dependence of grip strength and integrity on the design parameters was investigated by analyzing the stress distribution. The creation of a composite finger with hexagonal reinforcements was a breakthrough, achieving a gripping force of 3.19 N, compared to the non-composite model's 2.81 N. The composite structure provided enhanced deformation properties for conditions that required both strength and flexibility. Advanced designs and materials generally enabled stronger robotic systems, with a 63 % increase in gripping force for the Hexa-reinforced composite model compared to the baseline finger.
