Performance data of a robotic system with a robotic hand and a robotic gripper completing a peg-in-hole assembly task

NIST is developing metrics and test methods to benchmark the performance of robotic systems when performing manufacturing tasks. The ability to perform simple insertions is critical for robotic systems in manufacturing. A simple peg-in-hole test was designed to measure a robotic system's capability for performing these simple insertions. The dataset captures the performance metrics of a robotic system outfitted with a robotic hand and a robotic gripper to study the effect of next-generation robotic hand technology versus conventional parallel gripper technologies.
