This paper discusses position and suction control of a multi-degree-of-freedom reconfigurable robotic gripper system (RGS) consisting of four arms in a crossbar configuration, with a flat surface, fixed dimensions, suction unit (cup) mounted on each of the four arms. A fuzzy logic based controller has been implemented to regulate, coordinate and maintain the amount of suction generated through each of the suction units and the po- sitioning of the suction cups along each arm length. The RGS is integrated with AdeptOne and/or AdeptThree commercial manipulators and used to automate limp material handling, reliably, without distortion, deformation and/or folding. Extensive simulation results indicate that the RGS control system is robust, reliable and accurate, and meets a set of system requirements specified by the industry. A prototype system is being built, based on the derived design and model of the system.
