TO ENHANCE THE VERSATILITY OF ROBOTS, ITS ADAPTABILITY TO DIFFERENT TASKS MUST INCREASE. A PROMISING AREA FOR SUCH APPLICATION IS THE DEVELOPMENT OF GRIPPERS WITH HUMAN LIKE FUNCTIONS. IT IS DESIRABLE FOR THE ROBOT TO HANDLE DIFFERENT OBJECTS WITHOUT PRIOR KNOWLEDGE OF THE OBJECTS WEIGHT, SIZE, ETC. WE PRESENT A NOVEL APPROACH TO CONTROL THE GRIPPING FORCES OF THE MANIPULATOR THAT USES COMPRESSIBLE FLUID SEPARATED BY FLEXIBLE BUT NON-ELASTIC MATERIAL.
