Abstract

Abstract: This paper describes the design of a gripper for horticulture product grasping. The design solution has been achieved by means of a systematic approach by evaluating all the possible architecture. The proposed structure is optimized and numerically simulated. Then, a prototype has been built and tested in laboratory. The design process and test results are discussed to show the efficiency of the built prototype with lab tests.
