This project was my high school senior year engineering project. I created a pneumatic robotic gripper made out of silicon, and it was able to grab items by inflating and deflating the gripper through a series of air pumps and valves that are controlled by a programmable board. I made the gripper from scratch, using Ecoflex, and programmed the board, using Python, to inflate and deflate the gripper when I pressed a button.
