The current state of development of the NASA/GSFC (Goddard Space Flight Center) Split-Rail Parallel Gripper (SRPG) is described. The SPRG has been shown to be a high performance gripper for industrial robots. It has a precise wide throw and at the same time, it is light, simple, compact, rugged, and jam-proof against side loads. Originated at the National Bureau of Standards (NBS), this gripper is undergoing further development at NASA/GSFC in pursuit of two goals: as a potential gripper for robots in space and as the basis for sensory-interactive industrial gripper as part of NASA's technology utilization program. The gripper design features, its principles of operation and how it is constructed are described. Test results are included.
