Design of a workcell incorporating a gripper-based SCARA robot

This Master Thesis dealt with the development of an operative gripping system, which has to be mounted on a SCARA manipulator. The design concerned both electrical and mechanical part, with focus on the choices of each selected component making up the overall system. The final tool is a pneumatic gripper whose opening/closing actions are controlled by a pneumatic valve driven via Arduino and a suitable electric circuit. In the end a camera-based application was developed
