The compliant mini-gripper is 3D modeled and analyzed with finite element method. To use it in a wider range of containers designed for laboratories we made several variants of fasteners. In order to obtain a functional prototype in a scale appropriate to characterize the system, we determined the material properties of the gripper and developed an experimental stand for characterizing the system with mini-gripper. Finally, we compared the movements of the experimental grip, made according to the movement of the bellows type actuator, determined based on, analytical and numerical results.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Design and application of compliant mini-grippers for handling chemicals}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/84999/PDF/04_paper.pdf}, doi={10.1515/meceng-2015-0012}, keywords={compliant mechanism, bellows actuator, complant mini gripper, finite element analysis}, }
