For the new Amazon Picking Challenge we decided to improve our gripper design. The vacuum concept we used last year worked pretty well, but since this year the bins will be more crowded, our gripper needs to be even thinner.
Also for the bin-picking part of the challenge we could use an extra degree of freedom.
To make this new design, we've enlisted the help of last-year's mechanical engineer Maurice Ramaker and our latest addition to the team: Fabian Gouwens! We have developed a lot of different concepts and decided on two concepts for prototyping.
We have 3D printed the two concepts and put them to the test.
