The goal of this project is to work as a team in my robotics class to assemble a complete burger using multiple robotic arms on a shared track. Each person is responsible for one ingredient. My station is bacon, so my robot has to pick up two strips of bacon, place them on the burger, and arrange them in a cross.
The key design challenge for my station is the end effector—the tool at the end of the robotic arm that actually grabs and places the bacon.
In this design, the grabbers were too long, and there was a major issue: they couldn’t place the bacon in a cross shape. However, I did like the gear positioning.
I switched to using two servo motors so I can rotate the bacon strips into a cross shape.
After developing this new design, I started writing the code to get that motion working. That’s what I’m currently working on.
This is the above 3D model attached on the arm.
