Abstract
This project focuses on innovating current automotive manufacturing practices by designing a flexible end effector tailored for grasping a variety of inner door panels. The objective is to streamline operations by reducing costs and complexity associated with single-part tools. • Can handle 6 different car door panels • Uses three points of contact for stability • Secures across all 6 degrees of freedom • Supports loads up to 30 kg • Reconfigures autonomously
