In the era of Industry 4.0, robotic grippers are evolving from static actuators to adaptive intelligent systems.
To safely and accurately handle different materials, these systems must dynamically adjust grip force in real time—requiring both advanced sensing and precise pressure control.
That’s where the combination of NVIDIA Jetson edge AI platform and Kao Lu’s high-resolution proportional pressure regulator comes in.
The Challenge: Gripping with Intelligence, Not Force
Traditional pneumatic systems rely on fixed air pressure, leading to:
- Over-gripping and product damage
- Poor handling of variable sizes or softness
- Manual adjustment and lack of automation
An AI-enhanced grip control system solves this by:
1. Using a camera + Jetson for object recognition
2. Running real-time AI inference to determine required force
3. Sending dynamic control signals to a proportional valve
4. Precisely adjusting air pressure to match each object
KaoLu offer proportional valves built for AI-driven applications:
Industry | Application |
Electronics | Handling PCBs or delicate ICs |
Medical | Lab sample transport without contamination |
Logistics | Gripping mixed packages on dynamic conveyors |
Agriculture | Sorting fruits with variable softness |
Semiconductor | Precision wafer alignment using pneumatic micro-grippers |
