Week 7 - Sketch Model of Automatic Gripper and Arm Actuator

Sketch Model of Automatic Gripper:

Feedback from Week 7 Presentation:

• Know the difference between the motors available.
• Try to minimize the number of motors being used from 3 to 2 or if possible, 1.
• Think about the issue of stall torque - when the lid gripping mechanism locks and is no longer moving, it’s only applying the stall torque of the motor.
  • Recommends we look into how robotic grippers work.
• Overall, the project is complex enough to work on for the remainder of the semester, however it might be difficult to finish it completely by that time.
