Abstract
How much acceleration can a robot produce? Pursuing a robot with an extremely high response is a challenging matter. We have designed and developed the 100G (gravitational acceleration) capturing robot that can catch an object dropping in air. This robot keeps the world record in maximum acceleration. Since the capturing time is so short, roughly 30ms, we can not see what is actually happening through our eyes. Only a high speed camera can chase the actual motion of the robot. The basic design of the robot is precisely explained. The arm/gripper coupling mechanism is introduced for successfully transmitting the energy from the arm to the gripper. We also discuss the sliding distance after the object is captured within the gripper, and reflect the result to the design of gripper so that the gripper can completely stop the object in it.
