Abstract (Italiano)
The aim of this thesis is to lay the basis for the development of an expert system for the selection of robot grippers. This work has started with a review of the literature of the grasping principles, of releasing strategies and of the main problems concerning the automatic assembly or, more in general, the handling.
Later, we have studied a set of parameters constituting the input of the expert system, together with a set of rules aimed at choosing the appropriate gripper. The work ends with a series of tests, with a focus on the food industry, reporting the results and discussing the possibility of future developments.
