Abstract/Summary: One of the subjects that have occupied the researchers is safe grasping and handling of objects. In this direction an additional problem is the safe transfer and exchange of fragile objects in the working area between independent robotic grippers. In this paper we present a method of wireless information transmission between independent robotic grippers. This information transmission gives the possibility in robotic grippers that belong in independent robots to exchange objects. The proposed method is depended on the exploitation of IEEE 802.15.4 standard (ZigBee).
