Prototyping

• Designed a compliant gripper capable of manipulating fragile raw eggs using the Pseudo-Rigid Body Model (PRBM) to predict flexure behavior.

• The critical constraint was to achieve the necessary grip force—high enough to prevent slipping, but low enough to prevent crushing without using foam padding.

• Fabricated using waterjet ABS sheets.
