| contents | Multi-suction-cup grippers are frequently employed to perform pick-and-place robotic tasks, especially in industrial settings where grasping a wide range of light to heavy objects in limited amounts of time is a common requirement. However, most existing works focus on using one or two suction cups to grasp only irregularly shaped but light objects. There is a lack of research on robust manipulation of heavy objects using larger arrays of suction cups, which introduces challenges in modeling and predicting grasp failure. This paper presents a general approach to modeling grasp strength in multi-suction-cup grippers, introducing new constraints usable for trajectory planning and optimization to achieve fast and reliable pick-and-place maneuvers. The primary modeling challenge is the accurate prediction of the distribution of loads at each suction cup while grasping objects. To solve for this load distribution, we find minimum spring potential energy configurations through a simple quadratic program. This results in a computationally efficient analytical solution that can be integrated to formulate grasp failure constraints in time-optimal trajectory planning. Finally, we present experimental results to validate the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed model. |
