| This thesis introduces a groundbreaking mechanism that, in contrast to many contemporary innovations, prioritizes simplicity alongside novelty. It unveils a novel gripper mechanism, integrated into a grocery packaging system, equipped with an open-loop system and a touchscreen interface within a smart shelf. The gripper prototype features a stepper motor for actuation and a thoughtfully crafted one-third circular pattern, facilitating both the force-closed and the form-closed grasping of objects with a diameter of five to nine centimeters. Importantly, this design can be easily adapted to cater to various applications, ensuring versatility and broad applicability across industries such as food, beverage, and grocery markets. The accompanying shelf enhances the customer experience through an engaging interface. Rigorously developed, analyzed, and tested through CAD software and in conjunction with a commercial industrial robotic arm, this gripping innovation promises to deliver sophisticated simplicity, scalability, and multifaceted utility to the relevant industries. |
