The purpose of the underactuation is to use the power of one actuator to drive the open and close motion of the gripper. The fully compliant mechanism has multiple degrees of freedom and can be considered as an underactuated mechanism. This paper presents design of the adaptive underactuated compliant multi-fingered gripper with distributed compliance. The optimal topology of the finger structure was obtained by an iterative optimization procedure. It was proven that for real robotic applications multi-fingered grippers with three or more fingers were more suitable for stable and safe grasping. PI Ilmenau ER
