Project Title: Improving the Time and Efficiency of Soft-Shell Gripper Operation
Project Summary: TunaBotics is a soft-shell robotics startup dedicated to developing a tunable adhesive gripper designed for grasping and manipulating small, delicate, and curved objects in manufacturing environments. This semester, our team’s main objective is improving the existing gripper design to reduce the actuation time to less than one second and prevents premature buckling. Achieving this milestone will make the product viable for manufacturing and distribution by the end of the academic year.
