Day 10 — Robotic Arm Design

Time spent: 2 hours 25 minutes

Today’s work was focused on designing the robotic arm’s gripper. I finalized the parallel-jaw gripper design after comparing various end-effector options over the past two days. Most of my time was spent positioning the servo inside the gripper housing and designing the gear mechanism that opens and closes the jaws while ensuring everything fit together correctly. Next, I’ll finish the remaining gripper components, verify the gear alignment, and continue completing the full CAD assembly.
