Abstract: Robotic systems with griping mechanisms, and related systems and methods are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, the robotic system includes a robotic arm and an end-of-arm tool coupled to the robotic arm. The end-of-arm tool can include a frame and an actuator system coupled to the frame. The end-of-arm tool can also include a first clamping component, a second clamping component, and a third clamping component each coupled to the frame. The third clamping component is positioned peripheral to the second clamping component with respect to the first clamping component and includes one or more extension portions extending toward the first clamping component. The actuator system can be coupled to the first, second, and/or third clamping components to move the first, second, and/or third clamping components along a transverse axis of the end-of-arm tool.

Abstract: Robotic systems with variable gripping mechanisms, and related systems and methods are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, the robotic system includes a robotic arm and an object-gripping assembly coupled to the robotic arm. The object-gripping assembly can include a main body coupled to the robotic arm through an external connector on an upper surface of the main body and a vacuum operated gripping component coupled to a lower surface of the main body. The object-gripping assembly can also include a variable-width gripping component coupled to the main body. The variable-width gripping component is movable between a fully folded state, a plurality of extended states, and a clamping state to grip a variety of target objects of varying shapes, sizes, weights, and orientations.

Abstract: A crown having a colored wear identification layer and a tire are provided. The crown includes an upper tread layer, a colored wear identification layer, and a lower tread layer sequentially bonded. The surface of the upper tread layer is provided with grooves and bosses positioned between the grooves, the colored wear identification layer has an uniform thickness and continuously extends with an uniform depth below the surfaces and inside the side surfaces of the bosses and the grooves. The tire includes the crown. A manufacturing method of the tire is also provided. According to the technical scheme, when the pattern, namely the boss or the groove part, of the tire wears or abrades, once the tire abrades to a certain degree, the arranged colored wear identification layer can be exposed, so that the user is warned that the tire should be replaced or maintained.
