  • ELECTROADHESIVE GRIPPING SYSTEM WITH SMART BRAKE AND METERING
    Publication number: 20180250832
    Abstract: A system utilizes electroadhesive surfaces for braking and metering objects in an automated environment. An electroadhesive surface can include electrodes that are configured to induce an electrostatic attraction with nearby objects upon application of voltage to the electrodes. The systems described utilize various configurations of electroadhesive surfaces, sensors, controllers and programmable processors to create smart braking, capturing and metering systems for improved automated material handling.
    Type: Application
