Door-opener

Breaching doors without damage

door openerHoneybee Robotics' Door Opening Gripper provides robotic platforms with the capability to open doors, cars, drawers, and other everyday barriers. The Door Opening Gripper accommodates misalignments using a patent-pending method of compliance, effectively providing operators with a more forgiving system when interacting with doors. This enables the robot to open a door without risking damage to nearby objects or people.

  • Effective. The Door Opening Gripper enables faster door opening by enabling the existing manipulator to be more forgiving of misalignments.
  • Versatile. The Door Opening Gripper has been demonstrated on knobs, levers, and latches. It eases the control burden on both human operators and automation software.
  • Easy to Use. The Door Opening Gripper has been demonstrated to be effective for teleoperated door opening by an unfamiliar operator on the first try. No hardware is expended when opening a door – open as many as you like.
