Abstract
This paper discusses the 100G Capturing Robot that can produce the maximum acceleration of 100G in design specification. To achieve such a high acceleration, we utilize spring energy with a light arm/gripper. The Arm/Gripper Coupling Mechanism (AGCM) is newly introduced so that we can efficiently transmit a single energy resource for finally closing the gripper. Experimental results show that the developed robot can capture a dropping ball with the maximum acceleration of 91G and the capturing time of roughly 25ms. We also discuss various technical issues to be considered when designing such a high speed capturing robot.
