As a practical matter, could a Lynx 6 conceivably be used to grip an unopened can of soda, pick it up, move it, and set it down somewhere else? Or is there some obvious physical limit (grippers not wide enough, servos not powerful enough) that rules it out as a possibility right up front?
If the grippers aren’t wide enough to grab a can, but the servos ARE sufficiently powerful… how about the neck of a longneck bottle of beer?
OK, if at least one of the above aren’t out of the question… are its servos sufficiently powerful to move the OPEN door of a compact tabletop refrigerator? Say… if a solenoid inside the refrigerator were activated to push the door open (overcoming the magnets in the gasket), so the arm’s only task were to grip the handle of the already-ajar door and swing it the remainder of the way open, then later swing it closed?
Servos don’t have the power required to lift a full can or bottle. Using the best servos with heavy duty aluminum components with load balancing it may be possible to actually lift the drink. But this will not be elegant to say the least. The job really requires servos made from much larger gearhead motors. Just my opinion.
