Abstract

Various Remote Handling applications require a gripper for either a simple pick and place operation or a complex operation like the replacement of plasma-facing components inside a tokamak. Grippers require a high level of dexterity and performance. Presented review work deals with the review of the grippers used for the said operations along with a brief classification of grippers. The ability of the gripper to work under normal and challenging conditions is the main focus of the paper. This paper also discusses the grippers used in a vacuum environment, grippers used in fusion applications, Impactive grippers, adaptive grippers, and complaint grippers.
