Agilex PiKA Gripper

Key Features

• Precision Actuation: Delivers a high spatial positioning accuracy of ³$\pm 1.5$ mm for consistent and reliable operation.⁴
• Powerful & Flexible Gripping: A two-finger parallel gripper with a maximum gripping force of up to ⁵$2$ kg and an adjustable gripping range from ⁶$0$ to ⁷$95$ mm, allowing it to handle a wide variety of objects.⁸
• Multimodal Data Capture: Integrates advanced sensors for comprehensive environmental perception:⁹
  • Dual-Camera System: Includes a depth camera and a wide-angle camera (up to 200$^{\circ}$ FOV) to capture visual context, depth perception, and action inference.¹⁰
  • 9-Axis IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) sensor.¹¹
  • Outputs essential data including 6D spatial coordinates, RGB imagery, depth, and IMU data in real-time.¹²
• Robotics Integration: Features a universal flange interface for seamless mounting on various robotic arms.¹³
• Lightweight Design: Weighing approximately ¹⁴$690$ g, its compact and featherlight build is ideal for mobile robot platforms and collaborative robotic systems.¹⁵
• Development Ready: Offers full compatibility with ROS1 and ROS2 via a Type-C interface, supporting rapid development and easy integration.¹⁶

The PiKA Gripper functions as the execution terminal in the PiKA solution, often paired with the handheld PiKA Sense unit and PiKA Stations for a complete, calibration-free system that enables rapid, high-quality data collection in diverse environments, from the lab to the field.¹⁷ It is a powerful tool for researchers looking to accelerate AI model training and rapid prototyping in areas like human-robot interaction and autonomous manipulation.
