End Effector Design
Mechanical design of an end effector.
This is a custom end-effector design I developed as a first step toward building a full robotic manipulator. The gripper is actuated by a single Futaba servo and was 3D printed to validate its mechanical performance. It achieves a full closing motion and can open up to approximately 2.7 inches.
