Abstract

The living creatures provide a lot of gripping biomechanisms. The study of these biomechanisms makes possible the discovery of interesting equivalent mechanisms, which can be used for industrial robots in many fields of activity. It is possible to obtain some technical gripping mechanisms starting from the ones of the living creatures in their biological evolution: insects (stag beetle), birds (parrot), marine (crawfish) or terrestrial (elephant) animals, human beings. It is a good idea to try the synthesizing of a universal gripping mechanism.
